servlet getHeaders
Hi,
I was reading as below
getHeaders
'
Each header name appears only once in the
request. Occasionally, however, a header can appear multiple
times, with each occurrence listing a separate value.
Accept-Language is one such example. If a header name is
repeated in the request, version 2.1 servlets cannot access the
later values without reading the raw input stream, as
getHeader returns the value of the first occurrence of the
header only. In version 2.2, however, getHeaders returns an
Enumeration of the values of all occurrences of the header.
Finally, in addition to looking up the request headers, you can get information
on the main request line itself, also by means of methods in Http-
ServletRequest.'
Accept-Encoding
This header designates the types of encodings that the client knows how to handle. If it receives this header, the server is free to encode the page by using the format specified (usually to reduce transmission time), sending the Content-Encoding response header to indicate that it has
done so. This encoding type is completely distinct from the MIME type of the actual document (as specified in the Content-Type response header), since this encoding is reversed before the browser decides what to do with the content. On the other hand, using an encoding the browser doesn’t understand results in totally incomprehensible pages. Consequently, it is critical that you explicitly check the Accept-Encoding header before using any type of content encoding. Values of gzip or compress are the two standard possibilities.
Cookie
This header is used to return cookies to servers that previously sent them to the browser.This rarely used header lets the client tell the server what kinds of behaviors it expects. The one standard value for this header, 100-continue, is sent by a browser that will be sending an attached document and wants to know if the server will accept it. The server should send a status code of either 100 (Continue) or 417 (Expectation Failed) in such a case.
When i ran sameple program with below code
out.print("<br><br>User agent Header value is :- "
+ request.getHeader("user-ag
It outputted mozilla eventhough the servlet ran in eclipse window it self. I wonder why it showed mozilla. Please advise
I have not understood clearly what they means.
Please advise.
Any links resources ideas highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

It's using the default system web browser, which is the mozilla engine. If you want to change it you can do it from the General->Web Browser option.
Guys sorry for this comment, I am not sure how it got here. I probably wanted to answer another question and posted here accidentally!
