http: do not allow multiple instances of certain response headers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Response headers such as ETag and Last-Modified do not permit
multiple instances, and therefore the comma-separated syntax is
not allowed. When multiple values for these headers are specified,
use only the first instance.
