I have 2 spring boot based java app .

In one of the controller i am redirecting to call to second app but second app is also expecting some request headers. How can i add requestheaders to redirect uri.

public @ResponseBody ResponseEntity<?> testMethod(@RequestHeader("User-Agent") String userAgent){

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();

// validating request .if success 

headers.set("test-header", "value");
URI uri = new URI("http://localhost:8083/test1");
headers.setLocation(uri);
return new ResponseEntity<String>(headers,HttpStatus.FOUND);
}

but in the second app i don't see headers coming in . Is there a way to redirect with http headers.

Please help me out.

  • try to set in your application.properties `server.use-forward-headers=true` – Glim Apr 19 '18 at 03:06

  • @MehrajMalik , that will work fine with RestTemplate but I am redirecting the call to different app. So , both the scenarios are different . – vaibhav srivastava Apr 19 '18 at 05:32
  • use cookie or query params instead https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41523670/spring-mvc-redirect-with-custom-http-headers – codebrane Apr 19 '18 at 11:07
