Some HTTP headers (such as the set-cookie header) have values that
can be decomposed into multiple elements. Such headers must be in the
following form:
header = [ element ] *( "," [ element ] )
element = name [ "=" [ value ] ] *( ";" [ param ] )
param = name [ "=" [ value ] ]
name = token
value = ( token | quoted-string )
token = 1*<any char except "=", ",", ";", <"> and
white space>
quoted-string = <"> *( text | quoted-char ) <">
text = any char except <">
quoted-char = "\" char
Any amount of white space is allowed between any part of the
header, element or param and is ignored. A missing value in any
element or param will be stored as the empty String ;
if the "=" is also missing null will be stored instead.
This class represents an individual header element, containing
both a name/value pair (value may be null) and optionally
a set of additional parameters.
This class also exposes a parse(String) method for parsing a
Header value into an array of elements.
