Looking at the definition for all getResponseHeaders(), it seems only be 
useful for debugging purposes. Do you seriously suggest that somebody 
who wants to know whether an empty response header was present in the 
response takes that concatenated string and parses it (don't forget the 
rules about leading WS and continuation lines in 
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4.2>).
