@joel.verhagen
"Should HTTPResponse.getheaders() comma-separate the values (...)"
No, it should not. RFC 2616 states:
"Multiple message-header fields with the same field-name MAY be present in a
message if and only if the entire field-value for that header field is defined
as a comma-separated list [i.e., #(values)]."
As field-values for some header fields ('Set-Cookie' being an example) are not
defined as a comma-separated list such fields must not be merged.
Side note:
RFC 2616 is very soon to be obsoleted by the new RFC from httpbin working
group. However, in the current/newest draft
(http://trac.tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-21#section-3.2)
although wording is different the sense is the same.
