(Whiteboard: [necko-would-take])

If the user tries to append a value to a HTTP header that can't take a new value, Firefox silently replaces the HTTP header's original value with the value the user wished to append, instead. This is not desirable. Also, Firefox does not expose any API for determining which HTTP headers the user cannot append to.
