HttpHeaders class abstract interface

Headers for HTTP requests and responses.

In some situations, headers are immutable:

In these situations, the mutating methods throw exceptions.

For all operations on HTTP headers the header name is case-insensitive.

To set the value of a header use the set() method:

request.headers.set(HttpHeaders.cacheControlHeader,
                    'max-age=3600, must-revalidate');

To retrieve the value of a header use the value() method:

print(request.headers.value(HttpHeaders.userAgentHeader));

An HttpHeaders object holds a list of values for each name as the standard allows. In most cases a name holds only a single value, The most common mode of operation is to use set() for setting a value, and value() for retrieving a value.
