  Which suggests that you read mods-available/rest.  Which has all of the information you need.

  I have no idea what that means.  Saying "it doesn't work" is pretty much content-free.

  If only there was some kind of debug output... or endless pages of documentation telling people to use the debug output.  Or messages every day on this mailing list asking people to post the debug output.

  Well, if you want *all* of those to show up, then ":=" is the wrong thing to use.  See "man unlang".  The operators are documented.  You want to use "+=".

  Read and follow the documentation.  The file mods-available/rest documents what headers to add.  The "unlang" documentation describes how to add attributes.
