Using the web:response-header() function from the BaseX Web Module seems to work for overriding default headers ( http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Web_Module#web:response-header). I do wonder why the behavior differs between this function and directly using a rest:response element. Shouldn't these two be equivalent?
Thanks, Tim

Hello,
Is it possible to overwrite default HTTP headers in RESTXQ? I am running BaseX in Tomcat 7 and have set the authmethod param set to "Custom." I wanted to define my own WWW-Authenticate header for Digest authentication. I tried something like this:
<http:header name="WWW-Authenticate" value="{ ``[Digest realm="BaseX", qop="auth, auth-int", algorithm=MD5, nonce=`{hash:md5(random:uuid())}`]`` }"/>
(in a custom response, as specified in http://docs.basex.org/wiki/ RESTXQ#Custom_Response).
However, the WWW-Authenticate header only returns a value of Custom realm="BaseX" no matter what I do in the custom RESTXQ response.
Thanks in advance, Tim
