Need to fetch the country code from response Header

[binoy9299]

Hi All,

Could anyone give pointers on how i can fetch the country code being passed from cloudflare which is in our response header within the JAVA model ? 

Thanks

Hi Binoy,

Define your model with adaptables = { SlingHttpServletRequest.class }, then in your model body add 

    @Deleted Account
    private SlingHttpServletRequest request;

Once you are inside your init method you can ask for the header value 

request.getHeader("my-header"));

Regards,

Peter

Hi,

There are 2 ways, i guess first way is relevant to your requirement

1. Getting Value from SlingModel to Sightly -

- You need to process the logic from cloudfare to get the countrycode and provide back to sightly.

Example -

@Model(adaptables = {SlingHttpServletRequest.class, Resource.class}, defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)

@SlingObject
private SlingHttpServletRequest request;

request.getHeader("HeaderKEY");

2. Passing the value through Sightly to SlingModel -

- If you want to pass the countrycode from sightly to slingModel

Hi @binoy9299,

You can refer the below link for this purpose https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170986-How-does-Cloudflare-handle-HTTP-Request-h...

this is just extension on @Peter_Puzanovs  post.

But this is not the recommended way, specially in multi- region sites you can not relay on any CDN to get the country code.

Normally in multi-region site we maintain site configuration in the form of Context Aware config and from there we used to get it.

So I will suggest first check in your application is there any implementation like that.

if yes then please use it.

Some times it has been observed some issue like in a country like Canada where we have two locale FR and EN then there was some issue in fetching country specific info.

 Hope this will help.
