Hi Blaine,

Why do you say that it is intended to be on one line?
The HTTP/1.1 spec states very clearly that any header can be folded  
onto multiple lines.

Just wondering :-)

HTTP/1.1 header field values can be folded onto multiple lines if the  
continuation line begins with a space or horizontal tab. All linear  
white space, including folding, has the same semantics as SP. A  
recipient MAY replace any linear white space with a single SP before  
interpreting the field value or forwarding the message downstream.

       LWS            = [CRLF] 1*( SP | HT )
