This is an issue with cookies: when you get multiple response headers
with the same name, they are overridden. This is probably what we want
for location but for set-cookie this is bad. So says RFC 2109:
"
   Informally, the Set-Cookie response header comprises the token Set-
   Cookie:, followed by a comma-separated list of one or more cookies.
