+# Request ID in Response Header
+
+This example shows how to set the `RequestId` as a response header.
+
+## Running
+
+You can launch this example with
+
+```bash
+cargo run
+```
+
+An `actix-web` application will be listening on port `8080`.
+You can fire requests to it with:
+
+```bash
+curl -v http://localhost:8080/hello
+```
+```text
+...
+< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+< content-length: 12
+< x-request-id: 1d5c5448-44d2-4051-ab59-985868875f94
+...
+```
