Hi Dave, You can set HTTP headers via the session parameters or - if you need more logic - you can implement your own authentication provider.
To add a HTTP header "From" with the value "Dave", set the session parameter "org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.binding.header.0" to the value "From:Dave". In Java that looks like this: parameters.put(SessionParameter.HEADER + ".0", "From:Dave"); You can also set multiple headers: parameters.put(SessionParameter.HEADER + ".0", "From:Dave"); parameters.put(SessionParameter.HEADER + ".1", "CmisClient:ProjectOne"); parameters.put(SessionParameter.HEADER + ".2", "ColorOfTheDay:blue"); Implementing you own authentication provider is more effort but gives you more freedom. Extend the StandardAuthenticationProvider class and override the getHTTPHeaders() method. Make sure you call super.getHTTPHeaders() and add your header to the returned headers. Otherwise you break the authentication and the cookie handling. Once you have your own implementation, you have to add it to the session parameters: parameters.put(SessionParameter.AUTHENTICATION_PROVIDER_CLASS, "com.example.MyAuthenticationProvider"); Does this help? - Florian > Florian, > > Thank you so much for your response, providing links to the documentation > was very helpful. > > First let me apologize if my original question didn't provide enough detail > or if I didn't fully understand your response. > > In hindsight I should have mentioned that I already have a tool that runs > server-side that can inspect http headers and slice the results and report > appropriately. > > I believe the answer you gave me is a server-side solution.
