PSU-IP-Address
Privacy & Consent vendor request reached by regulation 3 spellings
A reference entry. The registry facts and catalog measurements below are complete; the written guidance for this header has not been authored yet.
PSU-IP-Address is privacy & consent — Headers carrying a person’s preference or a legal consent artifact. The smallest category in the catalog by adoption and the largest by regulatory consequence.
The registry
Not registered with IANA. It is a de facto or vendor field — real, widely used, and governed by nothing but convention.
In the catalog
Declared by 3 providers across 36 published specification files in the API Evangelist catalog, where it appears as a request header — sent by the client.
It is spelled 3 different ways across those contracts — PSU-IP-Address, Psu-Ip-Address, psu-ip-address. HTTP field names are case-insensitive (RFC 9110, §5.1), so every one of these is the same header. They are not the same string, which is why generated clients disagree about it.
Reached by regulation
This header is mandated: the law, or a technical standard the law makes binding, names it directly. Only a credentialed caller can watch it in flight. The catalog can see that a contract declares it; it cannot see that a deployment honours it, and this site never claims otherwise.
Reached by these regulations
Catalogued at regulations.apievangelist.com, with the basis of each connection recorded rather than implied.
Governed by these rules
Machine-enforceable governance rules from rules.apievangelist.com that apply to this header when it appears in an OpenAPI.
