<https://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-key-latest.html#rfc.section.2.3.5> describes the "param" parameter. It allows matching parameter values from header fields using name=value pairs. I see several problems here: - it doesn't allow keying on the first part of the field value, which in most cases, does not take name=value syntax (think Accept:) - it doesn't handle quoted-string properly (<https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/issues/166>) - it might be good to think about implications of RFC 5987 It seems it was designed with Cookie parameters in mind; maybe those are sufficiently different from parameters in other header fields to require special-casing? Best regards, Julian
