Question

How can I read Authorization header information from a REST based WCF service?

Answer 1

Actually since you ask for a REST based WCF service I think you should use

WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest.Headers

in order to get the HTTP headers in the request.

Answer 2

You are trying to read the http header.

OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageProperties
or
OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties
