HeaderValue class

Representation of a header value in the form:

value; parameter1=value1; parameter2=value2

HeaderValue can be used to conveniently build and parse header values on this form.

To build an accepts header with the value

text/plain; q=0.3, text/html

use code like this:

HttpClientRequest request = ...;
var v = new HeaderValue("text/plain", {"q": "0.3"});
request.headers.add(HttpHeaders.acceptHeader, v);
request.headers.add(HttpHeaders.acceptHeader, "text/html");

To parse the header values use the parse static method.

HttpRequest request = ...;
List<String> values = request.headers[HttpHeaders.acceptHeader];
values.forEach((value) {
  HeaderValue v = HeaderValue.parse(value);
  // Use v.value and v.parameters
});

An instance of HeaderValue is immutable.
