How to display the function GETHEADR
Issue/Introduction
Environment
Resolution
The HTTP Headers are available to the WebFOCUS client, but are not automatically passed to the Reporting Server.
Create two procedures - you need to run on the Reporting Server (http://localhost:8121)
1. - acceptlanguage.fex
-* This works only if called directly on the Reporting Server
-SET &ECHO='ALL';
-SET &VARHEADER=GETHEADR('accept-language', 'A50');
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<!DOCTYPE html">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1>GETHEADER accept-language</h1>
Today: !IBI.AMP.DATE;<br>
Header accept-language:
!IBI.AMP.VARHEADER;
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END
-EXIT
Output:
GETHEADER accept-language
Today: 06/23/23
Header accept-language: en-US,en;q=0.9,ja;q=0.8
2. - useragent.fex
-* Works only on the Reporting Server side
-SET &ECHO='ALL';
-SET &USER_AGENT=GETHEADR ('user-agent', 'A256');
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1>GETHEADER user-agent</h1>
TODAY: !IBI.AMP.DATE;<br>
Header user_agent: !IBI.AMP.USER_AGENT;
</body>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END
-EXIT
Output:
GETHEADER user-agent
TODAY: 06/23/23
Header user_agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Otherwise, you will have to pass the header from the client with Custom Settings:
