Question

I have a custom sharepoint app whose security model depends on an HTTP header. When a request is made from the mobile device, an http header called HTTP_RIM_DEVICE_EMAIL is added to each request. I grab the http header via the following method:

private static string GetValueFromHeader(string headerName)         {             HttpRequest Request = HttpContext.Current.Request;             string returnValue = string.Empty;             try             {                 string[] val = Request.ServerVariables.GetValues(headerName);                 if (val.Length > 0)                     returnValue = val[0];             }             catch (Exception ex)             {                 Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());             }             return returnValue;         } 

I pass in ‘HTTP RIM DEVICE EMAIL’ and it’s returning null. I have a regular asp.net 2.0 site on the same server and when I make a request to it through the blackberry, I see the header, but not when requesting the sharepoint site.

Is there a way to prevent sharepoint from stripping the http header that I need?

Actually, sharepoint doesn’t strip HTTP Headers.
