Multiple links for the same link relation do not work.

[fidian]

For example, let's use a collection with multiple items.

Link: <http://example.com/list/one>, rel="item"; <http://example.com/list/two>, rel="item"

When parsed, I only see the /list/two link. The first one appears to be consumed.

I would expect an object like this:

{
    "item": [
        {
            "href": "http://example.com/list/one",
            "rel": "item"
        },
        {
            "href": "http://example.com/list/one",
            "rel": "item"
        }
    ]
}

I think it's very important that multiple elements with the same rel are supported. A common use case is for a call to show "down" links into sub resources you have access to.

@juanmendes if you want you could review the PR #12 that @fidian provided and get it merged. If so LMK and I'll make you a collaborator.
@fidian didn't want to pick up the slack here and refused to do so. However as I explained I don't have bandwidth to manage all my projects personally and need help getting things merged which is why that PR never made it in.

there are now 4 total contributors of this repo and this issue is still something that hugely effects the usage of this package with more complex headers. can that PR please be merged in asap so i can use this package? it fits my usecase perfectly, except that it doesn't create an array when multiple items when it needs to/should.

@tehOPEologist if you read the PR in question closely, you'll realize that there is a good reason it didn't get merged. I don't have the bandwidth to review it closely and seems like none of the other contributors did.
Keep in mind this is our free time we're donating to get this in.

If you want to help take that PR as a basis and provide a cleaned up version of it to speed up the review required.
Thanks 🙏

It's been 4 years. I am guessing no one is maintaining this anymore?

8 years now.. I think I need to move on to another project like: https://github.com/jhermsmeier/node-http-link-header
