Re: #305 Header ordering

Our RFC2616bis says this:

The order in which header fields with the same field name are received is therefore significant to the interpretation of the combined field value; a proxy MUST NOT change the order of these field values when forwarding a message.

If 1.1 says that order is always significant and we're not supposed to be changing 1.1 semantics....
