Message headers

Message headers contain metadata about the message itself (for example, sender and destination details, message properties, message type). Headers for different transports contain different types of information.

JMS

The following images illustrate a few different transport configuration dialogs, each containing different message header fields:

HTTP

In case of HTTP transport, Rational® Integration Tester supports both the Content-Encoding header and the Transfer-Encoding header that are present in reply messages. The encoding types supported for each header are gzip and deflate.
These header values are used in the send request message as well as reply.

You can find more details about configuring protocol-specific transports and headers in API Tester Guide.
