Originally created by @MichaelIDS on GitHub (Feb 16, 2023).

I was trying to do bad/missing header field detection.
I could detect the values of a header fine when it was present, however, I can't seem to get anything to trigger when it's not present.
I lifted the below api-key check from the Wiki, but for me this doesn't ever trigger.

{
        "Swagger Doc Title": "Bad Request",
        "Comment": "Bad JWT token",
        "Priority": 1,
        "Request": {
            "Path": {
                "Matchers": [
                    {
                        "Name": "ExactMatcher",
                        "Pattern": "/timeEntry"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "Headers": [
                {
                    "Name": "api-key",
                    "Matchers": [
                        {
                            "Name": "WildcardMatcher",
                            "Pattern": "*",
                            "IgnoreCase": true,
                            "RejectOnMatch": true
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        },
        "Response": {
            "StatusCode": 400,
            "Headers": {
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            },
            "BodyAsJson": {
                "errorMessage": "Validation exception",
                "status": 400,
                "WireMock reason": "Bad Authorization bearer token"
            },
            "UseTransformer": false
        }
    }

Log output for sample request without this Header field provided.

I also tried a simple ExactMatcher and neither RejectOnMatch true or false matched.
If I remove the header check entirely then it matches, so I know the path element is correct.

"Headers": [
                {
                    "Name": "api-key",
                    "Matchers": [
                        {
                            "Name": "ExactMatcher",
                            "Pattern": "",
                            "IgnoreCase": true,
                            "RejectOnMatch": false
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]

Built against WireMock 1.5.16 from NuGet.

@MichaelIDS commented on GitHub (Feb 17, 2023):

As a workaround I set a requirement on my valid response for a wildcard result "*" for this header, thus stopping a request missing it from reaching the valid response matcher. It does mean that it ends up in my final generic catch-all bad request mapping, which is less ideal, but documentable.

EDIT: I have ended up with a second catch-all request handler to differentiate requests missing this header from any other unhandled bad requests. But I hoped to avoid this as it means I have duplication of request requirement logic across multiple mappings.

@MichaelIDS
From your logging:

It seems that the path is not matched, which means that the whole mapping is not matched.

In the log it has the path captured and it looks identical to the stub definition in the original message here to me.

@MichaelIDS
I did some testing and this works, but you have to configure the mapping for the header in a different way.

It should be:

"Headers": [
                {
                    "Name": "api-key",
                    "IgnoreCase": true,
                    "RejectOnMatch": true
                }
            ]

This means that when the header-key ("api-key") or "API-Key" (ignorecase = true) is missing the header mapping will match because RejectOnMatch is true.

I'll add this to the wiki.
