 * Represents an HTTP header field.

 * The HTTP header fields follow the same generic format as
 * that given in Section 3.1 of RFC 822. Each header field consists
 * of a name followed by a colon (":") and the field value. Field names
 * are case-insensitive. The field value MAY be preceded by any amount
 * of LWS, though a single SP is preferred. 
 *

 *     field-content  = <the OCTETs making up the field-value
 *                      and consisting of either *TEXT or combinations
 *                      of token, separators, and quoted-string>
