Removes any contained headers.

Adds the given header to the group. The order in which this header was added is preserved.
Params:
  • header – the header to add

Removes the given header.
Params:

Sets all of the headers contained within this group overriding any existing headers. The headers are added in the order in which they appear in the array.
Params:
  • headers – the headers to set

Gets a header representing all of the header values with the given name. If more that one header with the given name exists the values will be combined with a "," as per RFC 2616.

Header name comparison is case insensitive.

Params:
  • name – the name of the header(s) to get
Returns:a header with a condensed value or null if no headers by the given name are present

Gets all of the headers with the given name. The returned array maintains the relative order in which the headers were added.

Header name comparison is case insensitive.

Params:
  • name – the name of the header(s) to get
Returns:an array of length >= 0

Gets the first header with the given name.

Header name comparison is case insensitive.

Params:

Gets the last header with the given name.

Header name comparison is case insensitive.

Params:
  • name – the name of the header to get
Returns:the last header or null

Gets all of the headers contained within this group.
Returns:an array of length >= 0

Tests if headers with the given name are contained within this group.

Header name comparison is case insensitive.

Params:
  • name – the header name to test for
Returns:true if at least one header with the name is contained, false otherwise
/** * Tests if headers with the given name are contained within this group. * * <p>Header name comparison is case insensitive. * * @param name the header name to test for * @return <code>true</code> if at least one header with the name is * contained, <code>false</code> otherwise */

Returns an iterator over this group of headers.
Returns:iterator over this group of headers.
Since:3.0
