Reference has methods to parse the URI, but I haven't used them yet.

Well, will it be better if we extend the API to return datasets compound
belongs to.   Could you tell what API functionality you would like to
have in this case?

Headers in Restlet are accessible via
getRequest().getAttributes().get("org.restlet.http.headers"), although
for several standard headers there are specific method calls. For example :

            Request request = new Request();
            Client client = new Client(Protocol.HTTP);
            request.setResourceRef(uri);
            request.setMethod(Method.GET);
            request.getClientInfo().getAcceptedMediaTypes().add(new
    Preference<MediaType>(media));

Best regards,
Nina
