35 * A simple class encapsulating an attribute/value pair.
36 * <p>
37 *  This class comforms to the generic grammar and formatting rules outlined in the
38 *  <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec2.html#sec2.2">Section 2.2</a>
39 *  and
40 *  <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.6">Section 3.6</a>
41 *  of <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.txt">RFC 2616</a>
42 * </p>
43 * <h>2.2 Basic Rules</h>
44 * <p>
45 *  The following rules are used throughout this specification to describe basic parsing constructs.
46 *  The US-ASCII coded character set is defined by ANSI X3.4-1986.
47 * </p>
48 * <pre>
49 *     OCTET          = <any 8-bit sequence of data>
50 *     CHAR           = <any US-ASCII character (octets 0 - 127)>
51 *     UPALPHA        = <any US-ASCII uppercase letter "A".."Z">
52 *     LOALPHA        = <any US-ASCII lowercase letter "a".."z">
53 *     ALPHA          = UPALPHA | LOALPHA
54 *     DIGIT          = <any US-ASCII digit "0".."9">
55 *     CTL            = <any US-ASCII control character
56 *                      (octets 0 - 31) and DEL (127)>
57 *     CR             = <US-ASCII CR, carriage return (13)>
58 *     LF             = <US-ASCII LF, linefeed (10)>
59 *     SP             = <US-ASCII SP, space (32)>
60 *     HT             = <US-ASCII HT, horizontal-tab (9)>
61 *     <">            = <US-ASCII double-quote mark (34)>
62 * </pre>
63 * <p>
64 *  Many HTTP/1.1 header field values consist of words separated by LWS or special
65 *  characters. These special characters MUST be in a quoted string to be used within
66 *  a parameter value (as defined in section 3.6).
67 * <p>
68 * <pre>
69 * token          = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators>
70 * separators     = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@"
71 *                | "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <">
72 *                | "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "="
73 *                | "{" | "}" | SP | HT
74 * </pre>
75 * <p>
76 *  A string of text is parsed as a single word if it is quoted using double-quote marks.
77 * </p>
78 * <pre>
79 * quoted-string  = ( <"> *(qdtext | quoted-pair ) <"> )
80 * qdtext         = <any TEXT except <">>
81 * </pre>
82 * <p>
83 *  The backslash character ("\") MAY be used as a single-character quoting mechanism only
84 *  within quoted-string and comment constructs.
85 * </p>
86 * <pre>
87 * quoted-pair    = "\" CHAR
88 * </pre>
89 * <h>3.6 Transfer Codings</h>
90 * <p>
91 *  Parameters are in the form of attribute/value pairs.
92 * </p>
93 * <pre>
94 * parameter               = attribute "=" value
95 * attribute               = token
96 * value                   = token | quoted-string
97 * </pre>
