Originally --header always appended, but the problem was that people sometimes wanted to change the headers issued by Wget. The reason I didn't introduce (in fact keep) append was that HTTP pretty much disallows duplicate headers. According to HTTP, a duplicate header field is equivalent to a single header header with multiple values joined using the , separator -- which the bug report mentions.
[Fwd: Bug#366434: wget: Multiple 'Pragma:' headers not supported]
Hello,
a forwarded report from http://bugs.debian.org/366434
could this behaviour be added to the doc/manpage?
thx.
Package: wget
Version: 1.10.2-1
It's meaningful to have multiple 'Pragma:' headers within an http
request, but wget will silently issue only a single one of them if
they are specified within separate arguments. For example,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp]$ wget -U 'NSPlayer/4.1.0.3856' --header='Pragma:
no-cache,rate=1.00,stream-time=0,stream-offset=0:0,request-context=2,max-duration=0'
--header='Pragma: xClientGUID={c77e7400-738a-11d2-9add-0020af0a3278}'
--header='Pragma: xPlayStrm=1' --header='Pragma: stream-switch-count=1'
--header='Pragma: stream-switch-entry=:1:0'

... doesn't work, and inspection with ethereal reveals that wget is
only sending the last 'Pragma:' header given. Compressing all the
'Pragma' directives into a single header makes the fetch work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp]$ wget -U 'NSPlayer/4.1.0.3856' --header='Pragma:
no-cache,rate=1.00,stream-time=0,stream-offset=0:0,request-context=2,max-duration=0,xClientGUID={c77e7400-738a-11d2-9add-0020af0a3278},xPlayStrm=1,stream-switch-count=1,stream-switch-entry=:1:0'
