Matches HTTP header names when in "Canonical-Http-Format"

/^[A-Z][a-z]*(?:-[A-Z][a-z]*)*$/
COMPLIANT_NAME_RE =

Matches valid header field name according to RFC.

See Also:

/^[A-Za-z0-9!#\$%&'*+\-.^_`|~]+$/

Content-Types that are acceptable for the response.

"Accept"
AGE =

The age the object has been in a proxy cache in seconds.

"Age"
AUTHORIZATION =

Authentication credentials for HTTP authentication.

"Authorization"
CACHE_CONTROL =

Used to specify directives that must be obeyed by all caching mechanisms along the request-response chain.

"Cache-Control"
"Cookie"
CONNECTION =

Control options for the current connection and list of hop-by-hop request fields.

"Connection"
CONTENT_LENGTH =

The length of the request body in octets (8-bit bytes).

"Content-Length"
CONTENT_TYPE =

The MIME type of the body of the request (used with POST and PUT requests).

"Content-Type"
DATE =

The date and time that the message was sent (in "HTTP-date" format as defined by RFC 7231 Date/Time Formats).

"Date"
ETAG =

An identifier for a specific version of a resource, often a message digest.

"ETag"
EXPIRES =

Gives the date/time after which the response is considered stale (in "HTTP-date" format as defined by RFC 7231).

"Expires"
HOST =

The domain name of the server (for virtual hosting), and the TCP port number on which the server is listening. The port number may be omitted if the port is the standard port for the service requested.

"Host"
IF_MODIFIED_SINCE =

Allows a 304 Not Modified to be returned if content is unchanged.

"If-Modified-Since"
IF_NONE_MATCH =

Allows a 304 Not Modified to be returned if content is unchanged.

"If-None-Match"

"Location"
PROXY_AUTHORIZATION =

Authorization credentials for connecting to a proxy.

TRANSFER_ENCODING =

The form of encoding used to safely transfer the entity to the user. Currently defined methods are: chunked, compress, deflate, gzip, identity.

"Transfer-Encoding"
CONTENT_ENCODING =

Indicates what additional content codings have been applied to the entity-body.

"Content-Encoding"
USER_AGENT =

The user agent string of the user agent.

"User-Agent"
VARY =

Tells downstream proxies how to match future request headers to decide whether the cached response can be used rather than requesting a fresh one from the origin server.
