You can use getHeaderValue(String name).toExternalForm()
If you want to get all the headers from a reply for example taken from the
cache resource:
	    
	    ArrayDictionary a = new ArrayDictionary(5, 5);
	    Enumeration     e = reply.enumerateHeaderDescriptions();
    	    while ( e.hasMoreElements() ) {
		HeaderDescription d = (HeaderDescription) e.nextElement();
		// Skip all well-known headers:
		if ( d.isHeader(Reply.H_CONTENT_TYPE)
		     || d.isHeader(Reply.H_CONTENT_LENGTH)
		     || d.isHeader(Reply.H_LAST_MODIFIED)
		     || d.isHeader(Reply.H_ETAG)
		     || d.isHeader(Reply.H_AGE)
		     || d.isHeader(Reply.H_DATE)
		     || d.isHeader(reply.H_CONNECTION))
		    continue;
		// This is an extra header:
		a.put(d.getName(), reply.getValue(d));
	    }

By default, the setValue of HttpMessage is using HttpString.
Hope this helps,
