How can I extract the response headers from a fnRestAdvanced expression?

[nikos445]

I am trying to extract the response.headers (X-Subject-Token) from a fnRestAdvanced request. Is this possible?

I'll extend the fnRestAdvanced... just a sec; I was also planning on allowing placeholders so you can still have secure creds with advanced.... give me 30 minutes

I suggest that the return json data from fnRestAdvanced can be like this:

{
  response: {
     headers: {},
     data: {}
  },
  request: {
     headers: {},
     data: {}
  },
  status: "",
  error: ""
}

I believe this way it will be highly flexible to fetch whatever you like in JQ and process the request dynamically ;)

This might be a breaking change but it will help a lot people.

I will not expose the request headers, it will expose tokens and base64 credentials
This is already what you want right ?

So I extende advancedRest :

you use the following 3 placeholders in headers:
base64(name_of_credential) => this way, you can securily get credentials from the vault, use like "basic base64(my_cred)"
username(name_of_credential) => will replace with username
password(name_of_credential) => will replace with password

it has a new option "raw" parameter that will return both data & response_headers.

Very good! Thank you for quick support and implementation.
