    Hi @Henchway,

    If you are referring to having a SnapLogic triggered task respond with a custom HTTP header value, then these are the following scenarios:

    1. If you’re using the ground URL on a groundplex, then it’s possible by having the custom value go to the $[‘content-type’] variable in a Mapper snap. Ensure your Mapper snap has a Binary output and that it’s unlinked.

    The $content variable within the Mapper will contain the response body so ensure that’s there if necessary.

    1. If you’re using the cloud URL (whether it be via a groundplex or cloudplex), this is currently not possible and only standard HTTP headers can be returned in that case.

    Thanks,

    Ali

Thank you very much, i wasn’t aware that I had to use the override URL to use custom headers!
