cherrypy get custom request header failed

Question

js code:
    $.ajax({
        type       : "GET",
        async      : true,
        url        : url,
        contentType: "text/html",
        dataType   : "json",
        beforeSend : function(request) {
            request.setRequestHeader("X-Test-Token", "abc");
        },
        ...
    });

when I get the request headers with cherrypy.request.headers,
I can't see the "X-Test-Token" in it.
how I can get the custom header in cherrypy?

Answer 1

Are you completely sure that the JS is working right?

This python code:

from pprint import pformat
import cherrypy as cp

class Root:

    @cp.expose
    def default(self):
        return pformat(cp.request.headers)

cp.quickstart(Root())

With this curl command:

 curl -H "X-Test-Token: abc" http://localhost:8080

Does work.
