HTTP头字段在http://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/维护的“消息头”注册表中注册。

    本文档定义了下列HTTP头字段,所以“永久消息标题字段名称”注册表已经被更新(参阅BCP90)。

    1. +-------------------+----------+----------+---------------+
    2. | Header Field Name | Protocol | Status | Reference |
    3. +-------------------+----------+----------+---------------+
    4. | Connection | http | standard | Section 6.1 |
    5. | Content-Length | http | standard | Section 3.3.2 |
    6. | Host | http | standard | Section 5.4 |
    7. | TE | http | standard | Section 4.3 |
    8. | Trailer | http | standard | Section 4.4 |
    9. | Transfer-Encoding | http | standard | Section 3.3.1 |
    10. | Upgrade | http | standard | Section 6.7 |
    11. | Via | http | standard | Section 5.7.1 |
    12. +-------------------+----------+----------+---------------+

    还有,头字段名“Close”已经被注册用于“保留”,因为使用这个名字作为HTTP头字段可能与Connection头字段(6.1节)的“close”连接选项冲突。

    1. +-------------------+----------+----------+-------------+
    2. | Header Field Name | Protocol | Status | Reference |
    3. +-------------------+----------+----------+-------------+
    4. | Close | http | reserved | Section 8.1 |
    5. +-------------------+----------+----------+-------------+
