/**
* HTTP request and response headers are represented by this class which implements
* the interface {@link java.util.Map}<
* {@link java.lang.String},{@link java.util.List}<{@link java.lang.String}>>.
* The keys are case-insensitive Strings representing the header names and
* the value associated with each key is a {@link List}<{@link String}> with one
* element for each occurence of the header name in the request or response.
*
* For example, if a response header instance contains one key "HeaderName" with two values "value1 and value2"
* then this object is output as two header lines:
*
* HeaderName: value1
* HeaderName: value2
*
* * All the normal {@link java.util.Map} methods are provided, but the following * additional convenience methods are most likely to be used: *
-
*
- {@link #getFirst(String)} returns a single valued header or the first value of * a multi-valued header. *
- {@link #add(String,String)} adds the given header value to the list for the given key *
- {@link #set(String,String)} sets the given header field to the single value given * overwriting any existing values in the value list. *
* All methods in this class accept null
values for keys and values. However, null
* keys will never will be present in HTTP request headers, and will not be output/sent in response headers.
* Null values can be represented as either a null entry for the key (i.e. the list is null) or
* where the key has a list, but one (or more) of the list's values is null. Null values are output
* as a header line containing the key but no associated value.
