HTTP headers like Accept-Encoding or Cache-Control often carry multiple values (e.g., gzip, deflate), but 4D’s WEB Get HTTP Header command returns them as a single string. Parsing these values manually is essential for accurate client-server interactions, such as enabling compression or enforcing caching rules.

Breaking down complex header values into manageable arrays requires a methodical approach:

• Trim white space from resulting array elements
• Gracefully handle empty or malformed headers
• Maintain case-sensitivity awareness during header value processing

By implementing these strategies, your web based applications can reliably parse and process intricate HTTP headers, ensuring precise and flexible header management.
