Description:
------------
The header, headers_list, headers_sent and possibly other functions use
the term "header" incorrectly (although this is a very common mistake). 
See RFC 2616 sections 4.1 and 4.2 for the complete explanation.

Essentially, an HTTP response consists of a status-line, message-header
and message-body.  The individual entities in the header are called
"header fields", not "headers" as the documentation calls them.

I realize this is a pedantic issue, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't
be fixed.  The PHP manual is generally excellent.
