+/**
+ * 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;
+ *</pre>
