How to get custom header from HTTP response in Laravel 5?

Question

I'm trying to access a custom header from the Request in Laravel. The header name is "accessing_from". Listing all the headers in Laravel, gives me only the "standard ones", but the one that I've set isn't present in the list. Checking in the browser network tab I can see that the header gets sent. So I'm wondering how to access it from within Laravel.

I'm using Angular2 to make the request with the default http service.

The Laravel's $response->header() dump:

The web inspector's log:

Thanks to anyone!

Are you talking about get parameter or something? If so, use:

request()->accessing_from;

For header you should use:

request()->header('accessing_from');

The working solution for this was the answer (the last one) of daver here: Laravel get request header
