Typed Properties for well-know Http Headers

[pcibraro]

I think it would be very useful to have typed properties for all the well-know request and response headers (Accept, Authorization, etc). Today is a simple IDictionary<string, IEnumerable for the request and a IDictionary<string, string> for the response (Which is wrong I think as you can have multiple values for an specific header. For example, Accept-Ranges).

I can contribute this as a patch if you are interested.

Thanks

Yeah I think it's a pretty nice idea to have the common headers exposed in a typed fashion.. in fact i think the headers could be stored in a dynamicdictionary and layer ontop a set of conventions ..like removing - in a header name...

that way you could do Header.AcceptRanges without having to hardcode in the typed nature of it. The DynamicDictionary is a type in Nancy..
