MIME headers can contain more than one MIME field with the same name. Earlier versions of Traffic Server joined multiple fields with the same name into one field with composite values. This behavior came at a performance cost and caused interoperability problems with older clients and servers. Therefore, this version of Traffic Server does not coalesce duplicate fields.
Properly-behaving plugins should check for the presence of
duplicate fields and then iterate over the duplicate fields via INKMimeHdrFieldNextDup.
