Question: How can I access response headers?

[ChavaSobreyra]

Our backend passes certain information through response headers that we need to be able to see/use on our ember application.

I see support for raw requests were removed, and I don't see anywhere that the full jqXHR is exposed.

Was there a philosophical reasoning behind this? Is there a workaround?

You can still do raw! The code is right here:

ember-ajax/addon/ajax-request.js

Lines 71 to 100 in c0028c5

	raw(url, options) {
	const hash = this.options(url, options);
	const requestData = {
	type: hash.type,
	url: hash.url
	};
	if (isJSONAPIContentType(hash.headers['Content-Type']) && requestData.type !== 'GET') {
	if (typeof hash.data === 'object') {
	hash.data = JSON.stringify(hash.data);
	}
	}
	return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
	hash.success = (payload, textStatus, jqXHR) => {
	let response = this.handleResponse(
	jqXHR.status,
	parseResponseHeaders(jqXHR.getAllResponseHeaders()),
	payload,
	requestData
	);
	this.pendingRequestCount--;
	if (isAjaxError(response)) {
	run.join(null, reject, { payload, textStatus, jqXHR, response });
	} else {
	run.join(null, resolve, { payload, textStatus, jqXHR, response });
	}
	};

You should get back the raw XHR object to access the headers that way.

Thank you! I'm on 0.7.1 getting the raw deprecation warnings, and didn't see much mention on the new readme docs.

Oh, okay! raw isn't going away any time soon, so that's the way to go.
