/**
* HTTP request and response headers are represented by this class which implements
* the interface {@link java.util.Map}<{@link String},
* {@link List}<{@link 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 occurrence of the header name in the request or response.
*
* For example, if the request has the the following headers:
*
* HeaderName: value1
* HeadernaMe: value2
*
* Then get("hEaDeRnAmE") would give both "value1", and "value2" values in a list
* * All the normal {@link 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.
