Typecasting data

You can extract data of one type (for example, text or an integer) from requests and responses and transform it to data of another type. For example, you can extract a string and transform the string to time format. You can also extract a string from an HTTP request body and treat it like an HTTP header or extract a value from one type of request header and insert it in a response header of a different type.

After typecasting the data, you can apply any operation that is appropriate for the new data type. For example, if you typecast text to an HTTP header, you can apply any operation that is applicable to HTTP headers to the returned value.

For more information about typecasting data, see the Typecasting Operations pdf.
