Passing BAQHTTPHEADERS contents (context containers) in the response message Merged

Is it possible to use cics container BAQHTTPHEADERS to return response in the Context containers ( HTTP headers) to the client ?
We used this instruction on cics :

EXEC CICS
PUT CONTAINER('BAQHTTPHEADERS')
FROM(….))
END-EXEC.

By executing some tests we noticed that when we use PUT on BAQHTTPHEADERS, no context http container is sent from cics-zos/Connect to the client.

We need to include httpheaders in both request and response, because they are required by our internal standards and policies, but we realized that this is possible only for the request ( using properties 'useContextContainers' and 'httpHeaders' we can pass headers in BAQHTTPHEADERScontainer)
We would like to be able to include httpheaders in the response too.

    Thank you for raising this requirement. It is being closed as a duplicate of existing RFE 149233:
    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewChangeRequest&CR_ID=149233

    RFE 149233 will be used to capture interest from the community around the capability of adding, and assigning values to, standard response headers across z/OS Connect EE APIs.

    Please add your support by voting and/or commenting on it.

    Thank you for this RFE.

    It is possible to add and set response headers in z/OS Connect EE APIs today (from service response fields not from BAQHTTPHEADERS) :
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zosconnect/3.0?topic=apis-how-use-api-editor
    See the "Transformation Actions" section of this topic to see how to add headers to a request or response.

    Once the header is added to a response, it is possible to use an "Assign" transformation to set it to a static value for this particular API request, or to use a "Move" transformation to set it dynamically based on a value in the service response.

    Using this functionality you should be able to satisfy the use case described in this RFE (though not specifically through manipulating the contents of BAQHTTPHEADERS).

    If this functionality does not satisfy the use case described in this RFE, it would be useful to understand what capability is required in addition to the functionality available in the product today.
