             Summary: http::Request and http::Response should allow for multiple entries of the same header
                 Key: MESOS-3306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3306
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HTTP API, libprocess
    Affects Versions: 0.23.0
            Reporter: Alexander Rojas


According to the [HTTP RFC 2616 Section 4.2|http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.2] "…Multiple message-header fields with the same field-name MAY be present in a message  if and only if the entire field-value for that header field is defined as a comma-separated list". This leads to the following snippets being equivalent:

{code}
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
{code}

and

{code}
Cache-Control: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-store
{code}

Our current implementation uses {{hasmap}}s for both {{http::Request}} and {{http::Response}}. This leads to two kind of problems. First requests being generated outside of mesos with multiple header fields using the same field name get overwritten when unserializing the plain request to our {{http::Request}} object. Second, it makes implementation of {{WWW-Authenticate}} header more complicated since the header itself can consist in a comma separated set of values.
