getResponseHeader Method (IXMLHTTPRequest)

  • Article

Retrieves the value of an HTTP header from the response body.

strValue = oXMLHttpRequest.getResponseHeader(
bstrHeader
);

HRESULT getResponseHeader(
  BSTR bstrHeader, 
  BSTR* pbstrValue
);

General Remarks

The results of this method are valid only after the send method has been successfully completed. The line, xmlhttp.getResponseHeader("Content-Type");, returns the string text/xml, assuming the server set text/xml as the content type. The full list of header variables you can query can be accessed from the getAllResponseHeaders method.

This method applies to the following interface:
