Rails request.headers无法获取值

Question

I am trying to get some values from the headers in my rails app. If I iterate over request.headers like

request.headers.each do |k,v|

I get all the things I need (and much more ;-) ):

HTTPS: on
HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING: gzip, deflate
givenName: MemyselfandI
mail: noone@nowhere.org

However I can only access HTTP-headers like "HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING" etc. I cannot access eg mail:

request.headers['mail']

is nil.

Is there anyway to get the values of "mail" and "givenName" etc?

Thanks in advance, Sven

Answer 1

Meanwhile I found the solution:

request.headers.env['key'] = value

So, to get the value of mail you have to

request.headers.env['mail']

All the best, Sven
