.SH "NAME"
ne_get_response_header, ne_response_header_iterate \- functions to access response headers
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.HP \w'const\ char\ *ne_get_response_header('u
.BI "const char *ne_get_response_header(ne_request\ *" "request" ", const\ char\ *" "name" ");"

.BI "void *ne_response_header_iterate(ne_request\ *" "request" ", void\ *" "cursor" ", const\ char\ **" "name" ", const\ char\ **" "value" ");"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
To retrieve the value of a response header field, the
\fBne_get_response_header\fR
function can be used, and is given the name of the header to return\&.
.PP
To iterate over all the response headers returned, the
\fBne_response_header_iterate\fR
function can be used\&. This function takes a
\fIcursor\fR
parameter which should be
NULL
to retrieve the first header\&. The function stores the name and value of the next header header in the
\fIname\fR
and
\fIvalue\fR
parameters, and returns a new cursor pointer which can be passed to
\fBne_response_header_iterate\fR
to retrieve the next header\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBne_get_response_header\fR
returns a string, or
NULL
if no header with that name was given\&. If used during request processing, the return value pointer is valid only until the next call to
\fBne_begin_request\fR, or else, until the request object is destroyed\&.
.PP
Likewise, the cursor, names, and values returned by
\fBne_response_header_iterate\fR
are only valid until the next call to
\fBne_begin_request\fR
or until the request object is destroyed\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The following code will output the value of the
Last\-Modified
header for a resource:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ne_request *req = ne_request_create(sess, "GET", "/foo\&.txt");
if (ne_request_dispatch(req) == NE_OK) {
    const char *mtime = ne_get_response_header(req, "Last\-Modified");
    if (mtime) {
        printf("/foo\&.txt has last\-modified value %s\en", mtime);
    }
}
ne_request_destroy(req);
.fi
.if n \{\
