+#include <http.h>
+
+// eg.s of forming request headers. Each request header handled by HTTP is listed along with RFC refereces to
+// show the allowed syntax.
+//
+
+// Throughout:  iStrTb is a handle to the HTTP string table;
+//  i.e.   RStringPool iStrTb;
+//
+// Strings are represented as handles to HTTP strings;
+//  i.e.   RStringF str;
+//
+// String table lookup (i.e. getting the string handle from some descriptor) is done as so:
+//
+//  RStringF str = iStrTb.OpenFStringL(_L8("my string"));
+//
+// Strings which are 'very well known' (e.g. those in the HTTP RFC) and therefore certainly expected to be in ROM
+// can be converted to HTTP string handles using enumerations:
+//
+//  RStringF str = iStrTb.String(HTTP::EAccept,RHTTPSession::GetTable()); // guaranteed to give the same handle as:
+//  RHttpString str = iStrTb.OpenFStringL(_L8("KHttpAccept"));
+
+
+
+// RFC2616, section 14.1
+// Accept         = "Accept" ":"
+//                    #( media-range [ accept-params ] )
+//   media-range    = ( "*/*"
+//                    | ( type "/" "*" )
+//                    | ( type "/" subtype )
+//                    ) *( ";" parameter )
+//   accept-params  = ";" "q" "=" qvalue *( accept-extension )
+//   accept-extension = ";" token [ "=" ( token | quoted-string ) ]
