Custom Header Key name reformat by mock service?

[calvinlyc]

We have a custom header which has a key such as "APP_AUTH" and I'd like to keep this key in the pact contract. However, I believe pact-mock_serivce helps me reformat the custom header to be "App-Auth" and breaks the contract on the provider side.

After look around the source code with my bad ruby knowledge. I believe the source code is under pact-mock_service/lib/pact/consumer/mock_service/rack_request_helper.rb

line 47:

def standardise_header header
header.gsub(/^HTTP_/, '').split("_").collect{|word| word[0] + word[1..-1].downcase}.join("-")
end

Would you please tell me whether I can still keep the original contract format rather than to standardise it? I know "APP_AUTH" maybe is not a good name, however it's have been used by a lot of services which we can not easily modify.

Thanks for your help and looking forward to your reply. :)

That's a tricky one. The code that you have found converts the Rack headers into HTTP headers. You can read about Rack headers here: http://www.rubydoc.info/github/rack/rack/file/SPEC There's no configuration to ignore particular headers unfortunately.

If you want to keep APP_AUTH, I'd recommend monkey patching that method to ignore that particular header ;) It's an unusual corner case, not really one that I particularly want to add support for.
