chromedb doesn't support duplicate header names. Although servers _will_ send
this (e.g. Cache-Control: public\r\nCache-Control: max-age=60\r\n), Chrome
seems to join them with a "\n". So we do the same.
A note on curl_easy_nextheader, which this code ultimately uses to iterate
and collect the headers. The documentation says:
Applications must copy the data if they want it to survive subsequent API
calls or the life-time of the easy handle.
As-is, I'd understand this to mean that a given header name/value is only
valid until any API call, including another call to curl_easy_nextheader. So,
from this comment, we _should_ be duping the name/value. But we don't. Why?
Because, despite the note in the documentation, this doesn't appear to be how
it actually works, nor does it really make sense. If it's just a linked list,
there's no reason curl_easy_nextheader should invalidate previous results. I'm
guessing this is just a general lack of guarantee libcurl is willing to make re
lifetimes.
