Custom response headers from a URL using Web Headers

[sharpra]

Currently Web.Headers only returns generic response headers. Most APIs return paging information(count, start,end) in response headers. Exposing custom response headers would significantly speed up integration of APIs to feed data in Power BI

+1 on this. The Shopify REST api, for example, sends back pagination information in the header. Since it is filtered out but needed, you have to develop a custom connector, which then requires a Gateway.

If the response headers were available, this could all be done without need of a connector.

+1 for me too. I need to connect to my CMDB ( Spider) API, the authentication token is return within the response header. Since only a subset of the header is return, I have to create a custom connector to authenticate to the API and download the information into PowerBI.
