+/// `StrictTransportSecurity` header, defined in [RFC6797](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6797)
+///
+/// This specification defines a mechanism enabling web sites to declare
+/// themselves accessible only via secure connections and/or for users to be
+/// able to direct their user agent(s) to interact with given sites only over
+/// secure connections.  This overall policy is referred to as HTTP Strict
+/// Transport Security (HSTS).  The policy is declared by web sites via the
+/// Strict-Transport-Security HTTP response header field and/or by other means,
+/// such as user agent configuration, for example.
+///
+/// # Example values
+/// * `max-age=31536000`
+/// * `max-age=15768000 ; includeSubDomains`
+/// 
+/// # Example
+/// ```
+/// # extern crate hyper;
+/// # fn main() {
+/// use hyper::header::{Headers, StrictTransportSecurity};
+///
+/// let mut headers = Headers::new();
+///
+/// headers.set(
+///    StrictTransportSecurity(true, 31536000u64)
+/// );
+/// # }
