 ## Set the client-side environment via header
 
-Blazor WebAssembly apps can set the environment with the `blazor-environment` header.
+Blazor WebAssembly apps can set the environment with the `Blazor-Environment` header. Specifically, the response header must be set on the `_framework/blazor.boot.json` file, but there's no harm setting the header on file server responses for other Blazor file requests or the entire Blazor deployment.
 
-In the following example for IIS, the custom header (`blazor-environment`) is added to the published `web.config` file. The `web.config` file is located in the `bin/Release/{TARGET FRAMEWORK}/publish` folder, where the `{TARGET FRAMEWORK}` placeholder is the target framework:
+Although the Blazor framework issues the header name in kebab case with mixed letter case (`Blazor-Environment`), you're welcome to use all-lower or all-upper kebab case (`blazor-environment`, `BLAZOR-ENVIRONMENT`).
+
+For local development runs with Blazor's built-in development server, you can control the value of the `Blazor-Environment` header by setting the value of the `ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT` environment variable in the project's `Properties/launchSettings.json` file. When running locally with the development server, the order of precedence for determining the app's environment is [`Blazor.start` configuration (`environment` key)](#set-the-client-side-environment-via-blazor-startup-configuration) > `Blazor-Environment` response header (`blazor.boot.json` file) > `ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT` environment variable (`launchSettings.json`).
