adding custom headers using powershell script

Question

I am trying to write a powershell script that i can use to add custom http headers in IIS instead of manually adding them. I did not have any luck finding anything on the web so far. Can someone please point me to right direction.

Thanks

Add-WebConfigurationProperty -PSPath MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST ` -Name . -Filter system.webServer/httpProtocol/customHeaders ` -AtElement @{name = "X-Frames-Options" ; value='sameorigin'} — N.S

I was able to successfully add 2 or more headers using the following:

Add-WebConfigurationProperty -PSPath MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST `
    -Name . -Filter system.webServer/httpProtocol/customHeaders `
    -AtElement @{name = "X-Frames-Options" ; value = 'sameorigin' }

Add-WebConfigurationProperty -PSPath MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST `
    -Name . -Filter system.webServer/httpProtocol/customHeaders `
    -AtElement @{name = "Cache-Control" ; value = 'private, no-cache, no-store, max-age=0'}

As an alternative, avoiding the cmdlets and going direct to appcmd still works:

PS> C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config  -section:system.webserver/httpProtocol /+"customHeaders.[name='myCustomName',value='myCustomValue']"

Not a powershell cmdlet, but useful to know that appcmd.exe still exists in case the cmdlets aren't on a particular system.
