//! # Typed HTTP Headers
//!
//! hyper has the opinion that headers should be strongly-typed, because that's
//! why we're using Rust in the first place. To set or get any header, an object
//! must implement the `Header` trait from this module. Several common headers
//! are already provided, such as `Host`, `ContentType`, `UserAgent`, and others.
//!
//! # Why Typed?
//!
//! Or, why not stringly-typed? Types give the following advantages:
//!
//! - More difficult to typo, since typos in types should be caught by the compiler
//! - Parsing to a proper type by default
//!
//! # Defining Custom Headers
//!
//! ## Implementing the `Header` trait
//!
//! Consider a Do Not Track header. It can be true or false, but it represents
//! that via the numerals `1` and `0`.
//!
//! ```
//! extern crate http;
//! extern crate headers;
//!
//! use headers::{Header, HeaderName, HeaderValue};
//!
//! struct Dnt(bool);
//!
//! impl Header for Dnt {
//! fn name() -> &'static HeaderName {
//! &http::header::DNT
//! }
//!
//! fn decode<'i, I>(values: &mut I) -> Result<Self, headers::Error>
//! where
//! I: Iterator<Item = &'i HeaderValue>,
//! {
//! let value = values
//! .next()
//! .ok_or_else(headers::Error::invalid)?;
//!
//! if value == "0" {
//! Ok(Dnt(false))
//! } else if value == "1" {
//! Ok(Dnt(true))
//! } else {
//! Err(headers::Error::invalid())
//! }
//! }
//!
//! fn encode<E>(&self, values: &mut E)
//! where
//! E: Extend<HeaderValue>,
//! {
//! let s = if self.0 {
//! "1"
//! } else {
//! "0"
//! };
//!
//! let value = HeaderValue::from_static(s);
//!
//! values.extend(std::iter::once(value));
//! }
//! }
//! ```
