I closed old PRs to reduce load on the Gerrit importer (#50197), sorry for the trouble. I'll reopen the CL and PR. |

No worries. I think this one can stay closed at least while the proposal to include such feature in core hasn't be accepted. |
Structured Field Values fields value for HTTP is an upcoming RFC
defining data types for headers and trailers.
This specification is already used by some popular software
(including Google Chrome) and will most likely be used for most
new standard (and maybe custom) HTTP headers.
This PR is proposal to introduce a new package implementing the specification.
Fixes #41046.
New methods are also added to the Header type to manipulate structured
values.
This implementation is also available as a standalone package:
