So that’s a necessary use-case. The Cookie spec (RFC 2109) does claim that you can combine multiple cookies in one … Read more
Compressed content in the response is indicated in the Content-Encoding. The Content-Type should remain the same, that is, it should reflect the underlying media type that is compressed. Content-Type: application/javascript Content-Encoding: gzip See sections 14.11 Content-Encoding and 3.5 Content Codings of RFC 2616 for more information.
Use -H flag with the header you want to remove and no content after the : -H, –header LINE Custom header to pass to server (H) Sample -H ‘User-Agent:’ This will make the request without the User-Agent header (instead of sending it with an empty value)

To me it looks like the HTTP 1.1 RFC is pretty specific: The Content-Length entity-header field indicates the size of the entity-body, in decimal number of OCTETs, sent to the recipient or, in the case of the HEAD method, the size of the entity-body that would have been sent had the request been a GET.
No, it does not matter for headers with different names. See RFC 2616, section 4.2: The order in which header fields with differing field names are received is not significant. However, it is “good practice” to send general-header fields first, followed by request-header or response- header fields, and ending with the entity-header fields. It DOES … Read more
Although each web server software has some limitations, there is a difference whether there’s a limit for the HTTP request line plus header fields or for each header field. Here’s a summary: Apache 1.3, 2.0, 2.2, 2.3: 8190 Bytes (for each header field) IIS: 4.0: 2097152 Bytes (for the request line plus header fields) 5.0: … Read more
