class CHeaderCodec : public CBase
/**
An abstract HTTP header codec.  

Each instance of a concrete subclass of CHeaderCodec is associated with, and owned
by, a specific	CProtocolHandler.  It provides on-demand encoding/decoding of
HTTP header data, between the generic format used by clients/filters to formulate
requests and interpret responses, and the raw format used by
the transport handlers (and origin servers/gateways/etc.)

The CHeaderCodec has an associated instance of a sub-class of each of
CHeaderReader and CHeaderWriter.  It delegates the actual encoding and
decoding function to these instances.

Header codecs provide a mechanism for extensibility whereby if one codec can't
decode (or encode) a given header, it locates a codec that can, and then delegates
the task to that codec instead.
