Provide a PactDslResponse matchHeader with noRegexp?

[ehmkah]

Would it be possible to provide a method matchHeaderExact(header, example) to PactDSLResponse that it is possible to add a header without a regexp?

My use-case: I like to test whether the expected media-type is returned from the server. I found a workaround to provide it like .matchHeader("Content-Type", ".", "application/vnd.ehmkah.app-1.0+json") which makes it difficult to read. Or is that the way I should do it with pact?

The default is to match using equality. Just use headers(Map<String, String> headers) to set the exact headers that are required.

Ok. I thought that message should be used when I want to match ALL headers. But I am only interested in one header. I do not care for the others.

It should be used to specify only the headers you want to match on (not all headers). You can set your single header value there.

I could change the documentation of headers to make it a little bit easier to understand:

/**
 * Response headers to return.
* 
* Provide the headers you want to validate, other headers willl be ignored.
 *
 * @param headers key-value pairs of headers
*/

With the additional information the issue is closed for me.
