So the test would check the type is image, and look for name.x in that
case?  I'm not sure you can avoide a second test of some kind, but
adding in the type makes this safer from weird names.

It's not as easy as mod_python, which already supported duplicate
headers.  I could just alter the request object.
httpdapp is using a dict for headers though out it's code, and since the
keys are the header names you can have two the same.

I hope you are looking at version two, which I reverted back set_header
and added in add_header; I didn't like changing the expected behaviour
of set_header.  So since there is a seperat add_header function for the
request object, you can set the httpdapp's request object to raise an
error when add_header is called stating that method is not supported-
until such time that the server code is revamped.

When it was orgionally reported, it did nothing and raised no error.  I
didn't know if the exception was a quick work around and what was in the
TODO for later, or if that was to be permant.  Either way is better than
nothing ;)

You guys have to be the only people I know who don't love to cross
things off a todo list =p
