Actually since you ask for a REST based WCF service I think you should use

WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest.Headers

in order to get the HTTP headers in the request.

I used this to read the Authorization header: `var auth = WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest.Headers["Authorization"];` – Nicklas Savonen Jun 15 '12 at 07:28

You are trying to read the http header.

OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageProperties
or
OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties
