#686: VCL doesn't account for duplicate headers with different content

 Using Chromium 5.0.342.9 on Linux with a forced refresh (Ctrl+F5) I get
 the following in Varnish 2.1.0 on Debian:

 {{{
 13 RxHeader     c User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US)
 AppleWebKit/533.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.342.9 Safari/533.2
 13 RxHeader     c Cache-Control: max-age=0
 13 RxHeader     c Pragma: no-cache
 13 RxHeader     c Cache-Control: no-cache
 }}}

 whereas in Firefox I get:

 {{{
 Firefox (3.6.3):

 13 RxHeader     c User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
 rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100402 Namoroka/3.6.3
 13 RxHeader     c Pragma: no-cache
 13 RxHeader     c Cache-Control: no-cache
 }}}

 It seems that rfc2616 section 4.2 allows multiple duplicate headers so
 Chrome's behaviour is correct (but not traditional). Varnish seems to be
 only using the ''first'' one found.

 In the example of Chromium above, a VCL statement of 'req.http.Cache-
 Control' would be filled with 'max-age=0' whereas with Firefox it would be
 'no-cache'. This makes tests for a forced refresh a little difficult.
