Hi I’m having a hard time trying to get the session token in the header.

Here is what I tried:

var test=event.request.headers.x-dreamfactory-session-token[0]  
throw test

It throws {“error”:{“context”:null,“message”:“Unknown scripting error.”,“code”:500}}

I can get to the host or the dnt but not the session token.

the stringified header json looks like that:

{“host”:[“[dreamfactory.meet3.bitnamiapp.com](http://dreamfactory.meet3.bitnamiapp.com)”],  
“user-agent”:[“Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0”],“accept”:[“application/json, text/javascript, _/_; q=0.01”],  
“accept-language”:[“en-US,es;q=0.5”],  
“accept-encoding”:[“gzip, deflate”],  
“dnt”:[“1”],  
“content-type”:[“application/json; charset=utf-8”],  
“x-dreamfactory-api-key”:[“45c760eecefccb87319238f07fbe848e488bf46c24caa4b6faf24c2557ab859d  
”],  
“x-dreamfactory-session-token”:[“eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWI  
iOjcsInVzZXJfaWQiOjcsImVtYWlsIjoiZUBhLmNvbSIsImZvcmV2ZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc3MiOiJodHRwOlwvXC9kcmVhbWZhY3R

“content-length”:[“121”],  
“origin”:[“null”],  
“connection”:[“keep-alive”]}

Any idea ?

Still a couple more weeks to go with the resort open and then a few more weeks after that with some backcountry spring skiing!
