## Forbid Extra Headers { #forbid-extra-headers }

In some special use cases (probably not very common), you might want to **restrict** the headers that you want to receive.

You can use Pydantic's model configuration to `forbid` any `extra` fields:

{* ../../docs_src/header_param_models/tutorial002_an_py310.py hl[10] *}

This is probably not as important or necessary if you use `Annotated`.

///

Let's say that you want to declare the query parameter `q` as a required `str`.

And you don't need to declare anything else for that parameter, so you don't really need to use `Query`.

But you still need to use `Path` for the `item_id` path parameter. And you don't want to use `Annotated` for some reason.

func bitrotVerify(r io.Reader, wantSize, partSize int64, algo BitrotAlgorithm, want []byte, shardSize int64) error {
	if algo != HighwayHash256S {
		h := algo.New()
		if n, err := io.Copy(h, r); err != nil || n != wantSize {
			// Premature failure in reading the object, file is corrupt.
			return errFileCorrupt
		}
		if !bytes.Equal(h.Sum(nil), want) {
			return errFileCorrupt
		}
		return nil
	}

    checkNotNull(fromBoundType);
    checkNotNull(toBoundType);
    return tailMultiset(fromElement, fromBoundType).headMultiset(toElement, toBoundType);
  }

   * The new array contains nulls, even if the old array did not. If we wanted to be accurate, we

## Why Virtual Environments { #why-virtual-environments }

To work with FastAPI you need to install <a href="https://www.python.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Python</a>.

After that, you would need to **install** FastAPI and any other **packages** you want to use.

# `HTTPConnection` class

When you want to define dependencies that should be compatible with both HTTP and WebSockets, you can define a parameter that takes an `HTTPConnection` instead of a `Request` or a `WebSocket`.

You can import it from `fastapi.requests`:

```python
from fastapi.requests import HTTPConnection
```

    return null;
  }

  @Override
  public SortedMultiset<E> subMultiset(
      E fromElement, BoundType fromBoundType, E toElement, BoundType toBoundType) {
    // These are checked elsewhere, but NullPointerTester wants them checked eagerly.
    checkNotNull(fromBoundType);
    checkNotNull(toBoundType);
    return tailMultiset(fromElement, fromBoundType).headMultiset(toElement, toBoundType);
  }

Notice that the default value is still `None`, so the parameter is still optional.

But now, having `Query(max_length=50)` inside of `Annotated`, we are telling FastAPI that we want it to have **additional validation** for this value, we want it to have maximum 50 characters. 😎
