Small addition: The values are key-value pairs again here, but that isn't universally so in HTTP headers. \
The header parser simply doesn't know about such details.

not the values. Lowercasing the keys is okay because per the spec they are case-insensitive, and it has \
the advantage that you can look up keys in more or less constant time when using a hashtable. In many \
cases the values are case sensitive (usernames, something Base64-encoded for example), so the parser \

Actually kio_http fails to extract timeout value because it assumes

In the case of example above what it end up to do is
