[Bug 14310] Make responseheaders visible on <video> and <audio> element

some detail on the Akamai use-case at
http://webspherehelp.blogspot.com/2009/07/understanding-akamai-headers-to-debug.html
though I suspect it would be difficult to produce a definitive list which
remains complete so maybe a suggestion would be to list the headers we want to
listen to for a specific request (which would tie in with setting the specific
pragma headers to get Akamai to share the information to the client)

Similar to http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14186 this will help
to provide more detailed debugging info - especially useful when dealing with
video/audio

I love the idea of exposing the information (especially around response times)
to the Web Timings - especially as we start to venture into the world of
adaptive streams (fMPEG, DASH, HLS, Smooth Streaming or where-ever things net
out) where being able to see response times, source, response codes etc for
each chunk becomes important to get a good idea of the end user quality
experience (beyond the simple "did it load or not" knowing if it buffered, how
much it buffered, who it buffered for (and where) etc becomes very useful
