The header you requested is a non-standard header only used by app insights. As the Microsoft.Net.Http.Headers.HeaderNames class is for “well-know headers”, i.e. the ones defined in RFCs it doesn’t really meet the bar for inclusion.

Triage: Agreed with the above. We like the idea of an extension method for HeaderNames, but it wouldn’t work today on a static class. We could consider an extension point like Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpResults.Extensions, but I doubt we’d do it.

Ah sorry @MihaZupan

@kevinharing you could ask AppInsights if they wanted to add an extension method to Microsoft.Net.Http.Headers.HeaderNames, that way if you were importing AppInsights you’d get it.
