		Package httpguts provides functions implementing various details
		of the HTTP specification.
		
		This package is shared by the standard library (which vendors it)
		and x/net/http2. It comes with no API stability promise.

Package-Level Functions (total 7)

	 func HeaderValuesContainsToken(values []string, token string) bool
		HeaderValuesContainsToken reports whether any string in values
		contains the provided token, ASCII case-insensitively.

	 func IsTokenRune(r rune) bool
	 func PunycodeHostPort(v string) (string, error)
		PunycodeHostPort returns the IDNA Punycode version
		of the provided "host" or "host:port" string.

	 func ValidHeaderFieldName(v string) bool
		ValidHeaderFieldName reports whether v is a valid HTTP/1.x header name.
		HTTP/2 imposes the additional restriction that uppercase ASCII
		letters are not allowed.
		
		RFC 7230 says:
		
			header-field   = field-name ":" OWS field-value OWS
			field-name     = token
			token          = 1*tchar
			tchar = "!" / "#" / "$" / "%" / "&" / "'" / "*" / "+" / "-" / "." /
			        "^" / "_" / "`" / "|" / "~" / DIGIT / ALPHA

	 func ValidHeaderFieldValue(v string) bool
		ValidHeaderFieldValue reports whether v is a valid "field-value" according to
		http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.2 :
		
			message-header = field-name ":" [ field-value ]
			field-value    = *( field-content | LWS )
			field-content  = <the OCTETs making up the field-value
			                 and consisting of either *TEXT or combinations
			                 of token, separators, and quoted-string>
		
		http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec2.html#sec2.2 :
		
			TEXT           = <any OCTET except CTLs,
			                  but including LWS>
			LWS            = [CRLF] 1*( SP | HT )
			CTL            = <any US-ASCII control character
			                 (octets 0 - 31) and DEL (127)>
		
		RFC 7230 says:
		
			field-value    = *( field-content / obs-fold )
			obj-fold       =  N/A to http2, and deprecated
			field-content  = field-vchar [ 1*( SP / HTAB ) field-vchar ]
			field-vchar    = VCHAR / obs-text
			obs-text       = %x80-FF
			VCHAR          = "any visible [USASCII] character"
		
		http2 further says: "Similarly, HTTP/2 allows header field values
		that are not valid. While most of the values that can be encoded
		will not alter header field parsing, carriage return (CR, ASCII
		0xd), line feed (LF, ASCII 0xa), and the zero character (NUL, ASCII
		0x0) might be exploited by an attacker if they are translated
		verbatim. Any request or response that contains a character not
		permitted in a header field value MUST be treated as malformed
		(Section 8.1.2.6). Valid characters are defined by the
		field-content ABNF rule in Section 3.2 of [RFC7230]."
		
		This function does not (yet?) properly handle the rejection of
		strings that begin or end with SP or HTAB.

	 func ValidHostHeader(h string) bool
		ValidHostHeader reports whether h is a valid host header.

	 func ValidTrailerHeader(name string) bool
		ValidTrailerHeader reports whether name is a valid header field name to appear
		in trailers.
		See RFC 7230, Section 4.1.2
