/** Generalised internal representation of a single HTTP header field. The field's
value may be contained as raw data as received by HTTP, or
in a object-oriented parsed form, which is accessible to the client via
the class API.
Each field has a type and a (potentially complex) value. The type must
be chosen at construction time, and remains the same during the
header's lifetime.
Simple headers are represented using a single 'part'. Several factory
methods are provided for each type the part can take; e.g.
@verbatim
Max-Forwards: 3 -- a single integer value
Location: http://ayg.com/ -- a single string token value
Expires: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 10:30:25 GMT -- a single date/time value
@endverbatim
More complex headers are possible (see the RFC2116 for many more examples)
which are built up from several parts; e.g.
@verbatim
Accept: text/wml, application/vnd.wap.wmlc -- a header with two string token parts
Allow: GET, POST, HEAD -- a header with three string token parts
@endverbatim
Multiple parts are supported by the CHeaderFieldPart class.
Furthermore, some headers allow parameters to be supplied in the form of attribute-value
pairs. These may be present on any part of the header, according to the syntax defined
in the RFC; e.g.
@verbatim
Accept-Charset: utf-8; q=0.8, us-ascii; q=0.2
Cache-Control: maxage=6000
@endverbatim
Parameters are supported by the CHeaderFieldParam class.
The classes CHeaderField, CHeaderFieldPart and CHeaderFieldParam are internal header representations
and will only be manipulated by protocol handlers and filters. Only the RHTTPHeaders and THTTPHdrVal
classes are intended for use by the Client.

Cache-Control: max-stale [=delta-seconds]
Expect: expectation1=value1; expectation2=value2
Content-Range: bytes 0-1023/4096
@endverbatim
Cache-Control's max-stale directive can take an optional value; hence the client
should create a one-part header where the part is an enumeration value 'max-stale',
and assign to that part an un-named parameter for the delta-seconds value if it is
desired.
Expect's sets of expectation expressions should each be added by the client as a
separate part, each of which is given an unnamed parameter that takes the
expectation value.
Content-Range should have one part added containing the enumeration 'bytes'. Three
parameters should be defined for that part: 'first', 'last' and 'total' which take
the values in the byte-range. This is, of course, application-specific and similar
guidelines might be adopted by the parser to represent other headers.
