Hello,

a forwarded report from http://bugs.debian.org/366434

could this behaviour be added to the doc/manpage?

i wonder if it makes sense to add generic support for multiple headers in wget, for instance by extending the --header option like this:

wget --header="Pragma: xxx" --header=dontoverride,"Pragma: xxx2" someurl

as an alternative, we could choose to support multiple headers only for a few header types, like Pragma. however, i don't really like this second choise, as it would require to hardcode the above mentioned header names in the wget sources, which IMVHO is a *VERY* bad practice.

what do you think?
