headerParam

Declare that a parameter will be transmitted to the API through the headers.

If the parameter is a string, or any scalar type (float, int, char[], ...), it will be send as a string. If it's an aggregate, it will be serialized as JSON. However, passing aggregate via header isn't a good practice and should be avoided for new production code.

There are currently two kinds of symbol to do this: viaHeader and headerParam. viaHeader should be applied to the parameter itself, while headerParam is applied to the function. headerParam was introduced long before the D language for UDAs on parameters (introduced in DMD v2.082.0), and will be deprecated in a future release.
