Represents an HTTP header field.
<p>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.
<pre>
message-header = field-name ":" [ field-value ]
field-name = token
field-value = *( field-content | LWS )
field-content = &lt;the OCTETs making up the field-value
and consisting of either *TEXT or combinations
of token, separators, and quoted-string&gt;
