CICS web service requester PIPELINE

CICS Web service requester pipeline does not permit writting into HTTP header. We use SOAPACTION container and set it up in a handler program to insert additional HTTP headers but there should be easier ways like using API WEB WRITE HTTPHEADER to insert new header for WS requester. Our request is to permit usage og API WEB WRITE HTTPHEADER in the requester pipeline.
This action is very easy in other platforms.

    The PIPELINE for SOAP services works fine but one for RESTful services would be greatly appreciated.

    This requirement has been re-assessed. It is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12-24 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.
