IANA permanent response RFC 9110 reached by regulation 4 spellings

Declared by 147 providers across 13018 published specification files in the APIs.io network.

What this header is for, and how to use it →

A count here is providers whose published contract declares this header — not providers who send it. Response headers set at the edge rarely appear in an OpenAPI at all, so a low number can measure documentation practice rather than deployment.

Spelled 4 ways

HTTP field names are case-insensitive (RFC 9110 §5.1), so every spelling below is the same header on the wire. A contract is not the wire: generated clients key off the string, and a developer reading two of these sees two different headers.
