> Some request headers get special treatment by HttpRequestEncoder.  HttpRequestEncoder does not make any effort in checking to see if they are present in the headers already.  As a result, they may be added twice if one is not careful.  For example,
> - Content-Type & Content-Length are added by HttpRequestEncoder for POST requests, and should not be added by callers.
> - Host & User-Agent are always added by HttpRequestEncoder, and should not be added by callers as ordinary headers.
> Although one could argue that callers should not add these headers by hand, I think HttpRequestEncoder still should ensure that they are not added twice.
