mutating func replaceOrAdd(name: HTTPHeaders.Name, value: String)

value

The header field value to add for the given name.

Discussion

This is a supplemental method to add that essentially combines remove and add in a single function. It can be used to ensure that a header block is in a well-defined form without having to check whether the value was previously there. Like add, this method performs case-insensitive comparisons of the header field names.
