style95 opened a new issue #3582: [Feature Request] Include activation ID in web action header.
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/3582
 
 
   ## Environment details:
   
   * Any
   
   ## Steps to reproduce the issue:
   
   1.  Invoke a web action.
   
   ## Provide the expected results and outputs:
   
   ```javascript
   function main(params) { 
       return { response: params };
   }
   ```
   
   ```bash
   curl -X GET 'localhost/api/v1/web/myNamespace/hello.json'
   {
     "response": {
       "__ow_method": "get",
       "__ow_headers": {
         "accept": "application/json, text/plain, */*",
         "activation_id": "ebc60b3553c14046860b3553c1c0464a"  # This is required
          .
          .
          .
       },
       "_": "1524725954543",
       "__ow_path": "",
     }
   }
   ```
   
   
   ## Provide the actual results and outputs:
   
   ```
   curl -X GET 'localhost/api/v1/web/myNamespace/hello.json'
   {
     "response": {
       "__ow_method": "get",
       "__ow_headers": {
         "accept": "application/json, text/plain, */*",
          .
          .
          .
       },
       "_": "1524725954543",
       "__ow_path": "",
     }
   }
   ```
   
   ## Additional information you deem important:
   Currently activation ID is not passed when the action is a web action.
   When user want to retrieve more detail information about the activation, it's not easy to pick the right one from `activation list` API if there are subsequent action invocation calls.
   So it would be great if server returns activation ID in headers or via any other ways.
