getValues

public List<String> getValues()

Description copied from class: Header

Returns the header as a list of strings. If the header has no values then it must return an empty list, never null. Each String should represent the value component of the key-value pair that makes up the HTTP header - as such, for some Header implementations each String in this List may contain multiple token-separated values.

The List returned from this method should not be expected to be mutable. However, some subclasses of Header may choose to implement it as such.

Specified by:

getValues in class Header

Returns:

The header as a non-null list of string values. Can be an empty list.
