what do you all think about this syntax for getting header-values?

val accept = request.headers.accept
val cacheControl = request.headers.cacheControl
val username = request.headers.authorization.basic.username
val password = request.headers.authorization.basic.password

It seems like your request.headers should just be value accessors whereas something else could handle the parsing of the headers

when (request.authorization) {
    is BasicAuth -> {
        val username = request.authorization.username
        val password = request.authorization.password
    }
    is BearerAuth -> //handle oauth
    else -> // no auth parsed
}

request.authorization could be a lazy property that runs the Authorization header through registered parsers

thanks @bdawg.io, that sounds like a good solution

i decided to skip the whole thing though

i added a simple object with constants instead
