Multiple message-header fields handling

[Manlio Perillo]

I have found a "problem" with multiple message-header fields handling in 
Nginx.

The HTTP 1.1 protocol (section 4.2) says that:

"""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 [i.e., #(values)]."""

This can happen, as an example, with the Cookie header.

The "problem" is that Nginx does not combines these multiple headers:

"""It MUST be possible to combine the multiple header fields into one 
"field-name: field-value" pair, without changing the semantics of the 
message, by appending each subsequent field-value to the first, each 
separated by a comma. The order in which header fields with the same 
field-name are received is therefore significant to the interpretation 
of the combined field value, and thus a proxy MUST NOT change the order 
of these field values when a message is forwarded."""


Igor, do you plan to add this feature in a future version?
