Hello

I have a line like this in a server side V8js post process script:

```
var result = platform.api.post("http://example.com/my_api", JSON.stringify({"name":"test"}), options);

```

How can I get the response headers? Trying to do _var\_dump(result)_ does not give the response headers.

If you’re looking for just the response that comes from that post, then you can use:

```
event.response.content = {"result": result};
```

Hi Joshua

I am actually looking for the response **headers**. Those do not seem to show up. Any thoughts?

Thanks
