```
    Specify a header that'll be sent with the request e.g:
```
 given().header("username", "John").and().expect().body(equalTo("something")).when().get("/header");
 
```
    This will set the header username=John in the GET request to "/header".
    
    You can also specify several headers like this:
```
 given().header("username", "John").and().header("zipCode", "12345").and().expect().body(equalTo("something")).when().get("/header");
 
```
    If you specify additionalHeaderValues then the Header will be a multi-value header. This means that you'll create several headers with the same name but with different values.
    Parameters:
    
    headerName - The header name
    
    headerValue - The header value
    
    additionalHeaderValues - Additional header values. This will actually create two headers with the same name but with different values.

    Parameters:
    
    header - The header to add to the request
    
    Returns:
    
    The request specification
    
    See Also:

```
WebTestClientRequestSpecification body(String body)
```
    Specify a String request body (such as e.g. JSON or XML) that'll be sent with the request. This works for the POST and PUT methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 given().body("{ \"message\" : \"hello world\"}").then().expect().body(equalTo("hello world")).when().post("/json");
 
```
    This will POST a request containing JSON to "/json" and expect that the response body equals to "hello world".
    Parameters:
    
    body - The body to send.
    
    Returns:
    
    The request specification
  - body
```
WebTestClientRequestSpecification body(byte[] body)
```
    Specify a byte array request body that'll be sent with the request. This only works for the POST http method. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 byte[] someBytes = ..
 given().body(someBytes).then().expect().body(equalTo("hello world")).when().post("/json");
 
```
    This will POST a request containing someBytes to "/json" and expect that the response body equals to "hello world".
    Parameters:
    
    body - The body to send.
    
    Returns:
    
    The request specification
  - body
```
WebTestClientRequestSpecification body(File body)
```
    Specify file content that'll be sent with the request. This only works for the POST, PATCH and PUT http method. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 File myFile = ..
 given().content(myFile).when().post("/json").then().content(equalTo("hello world"));
 
```
    This will POST a request containing myFile to "/json" and expect that the response content equals to "hello world".
    Parameters:
    
    body - The content to send.
    
    Returns:
    
    The request specification
  - body
```
WebTestClientRequestSpecification body(Object object)
```
    Specify an Object request content that will automatically be serialized to JSON or XML and sent with the request. If the object is a primitive or Number the object will be converted to a String and put in the request body. This works for the POST and PUT methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 Message message = new Message();
 message.setMessage("My beautiful message");

 given().
         contentType("application/json").
         body(message).
 expect().
         content(equalTo("Response to a beautiful message")).
 when().
         post("/beautiful-message");
 
```
    Since the content-type is "application/json" then REST Assured will automatically try to serialize the object using Jackson or Gson if they are available in the classpath. If any of these frameworks are not in the classpath then an exception is thrown.
    If the content-type is "application/xml" then REST Assured will automatically try to serialize the object using JAXB if it's available in the classpath. Otherwise an exception will be thrown.
    If no request content-type is specified then REST Assured determine the parser in the following order:
    1. Jackson
    2. Gson
    3. JAXB
    Parameters:
    
    object - The object to serialize and send with the request
    
    Returns:
    
    The request specification
  - body
```

```
    Specify an Object request content that will automatically be serialized to JSON or XML and sent with the request using a specific object mapper. This works for the POST, PATCH and PUT methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 Message message = new Message();
 message.setMessage("My beautiful message");

 given().
         body(message, new MyObjectMapper()).
 expect().
         content(equalTo("Response to a beautiful message")).
 when().
         post("/beautiful-message");
 
```
    Parameters:

```
    Specify an Object request content that will automatically be serialized to JSON or XML and sent with the request using a specific object mapper type. This works for the POST, PATCH and PUT methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 Message message = new Message();
 message.setMessage("My beautiful message");

 given().
         body(message, ObjectMapper.GSON).
 expect().
         content(equalTo("Response to a beautiful message")).

```
     RestAssured.config = newConfig().sessionConfig(new SessionConfig().sessionIdName(<sessionIdName>));
 
```
    or you can use the sessionId(String, String) method to set it for this request only.
    Parameters:
    
    sessionIdValue - The session id value.
    
    Returns:
    
    The request specification

```
     RestAssured.config = newConfig().sessionConfig(new SessionConfig().sessionIdName(<sessionIdName>));
 
```
    and then you can use the sessionId(String) method to set the session id value without specifying the name for each request.
    Parameters:
    
    sessionIdName - The session id name
    
    sessionIdValue - The session id value.

  - standaloneSetup
```
WebTestClientRequestSpecification standaloneSetup(Object... controllerOrWebTestClientConfigurer)
```
    Build a WebTestClient by registering one or more @Controller's instances and configuring Spring infrastructure programmatically. This allows full control over the instantiation and initialization of controllerOrWebTestClientConfigurer, and their dependencies, similar to plain unit tests while also making it possible to test one controller at a time.
    
    This uses the WebTestClient.bindToController(Object...) method under the hood.
    
    Parameters:
    
    controllerOrWebTestClientConfigurer - one or more @Controller's to test or a combination of controllers and WebTestClientConfigurer
