public:
static bool IsRestricted(System::String ^ headerName);
public static bool IsRestricted (string headerName);
static member IsRestricted : string -> bool
Public Shared Function IsRestricted (headerName As String) As Boolean
Parameters
- headerName
- String
The header to test.
Returns
true
if the header is restricted; otherwise false
.
Exceptions
headerName
is null
or Empty.
headerName
contains invalid characters.

The following example checks the IsRestricted property to see if any headers are prohibited from being set.

The IsRestricted method returns true
to indicate that a header is restricted and must be set using properties instead of directly or is set by the system. The restricted headers are:
Accept
Connection
Content-Length
Content-Type
Date
Expect
Host
If-Modified-Since
Range
Referer
Transfer-Encoding
User-Agent
Proxy-Connection
