Extracting Response Headers From Response Using Restassured

Why Extract Headers?

Headers often carry important metadata like content type, rate-limit information, or session tokens that a test may need to inspect or reuse.

Example

String contentType = given()
    .when().get("/users/2")
    .then().extract().header("Content-Type");

Getting All Headers

Headers headers = response.getHeaders();

This returns the full set of response headers, which can then be iterated or checked individually.
