[feature request] Make context.set(header_key, header_value) available to set header about thruster

[trezm]

Good question(s)!

• For the availability of set, have you imported the Context trait like the error is suggesting? It should be a public trait on any context, including BasicHyperContext.
• For changing a header, is it enough to remove a header? The remove method also exists for headers (see here.) This should let you remove a header, update it to what you want, then add it again. One case that I can imagine this not supporting is if you needed the value previously set by another piece of middleware -- it might make sense to have remove return an Option<String>.

For what you tried, request is the incoming request, so grabbing any headers (or setting them!) would just affect the incoming side, not the outgoing side.

It's like you were originally asking -- set and remove alter the outgoing headers.

• Context::set: https://docs.rs/thruster/1.2.5/thruster/trait.Context.html#tymethod.set
• Context::remove: https://docs.rs/thruster/1.2.5/thruster/trait.Context.html#tymethod.remove

You just need to remember to include the Context trait via use thruster::Context;

So to answer me, import use thruster::Context allows modifying "outgoing" headers, no need to make "set" public.

Please explain to me how to change the outgoing headers 🥺 🙏🏻

I followed your suggestion and its working now:

Thanks for the help @trezm!
