Setting headers is not clearing pre-existing headers of the same name. This causes duplicates.

I ran this code to simulate a cell phone browser:
<$vars=
ACCEPT
ACCEPT_ENCODING
ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
CONNECTION
HOST
REFERER
UA_COLOR
UA_CPU
UA_OS
UA_PIXELS
UA_VOICE
USER_AGENT
X_WAP_PROFILE
>
<$vals=
'*/*'
'gzip,deflate'
'en-us'
'Keep-Alive'
'm.google.com'
'http://m.google.com/'
'color16'
'x86'
'Windows CE (Smartphone) - Version 5.1'
'320x240'
'TRUE'
'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; Smartphone; 176x220)'
'"http://uaprof.vtext.com/mot/q2/q2v1.xml"'
>
<urlcp header $vars $vals>


The server saw this from the <fetch>

Headers set automatically or by other functions are not replaced by <urlcp header>. You can use <urlcp accept> to set the accept header, <urlcp maxkeepaliverequests> to get the proper behavior with Connection, <urlcp useragent> to set the user agent, and the Host: header is set automatically from the URL being fetched.

Ya I knew that from reading the manual, but the behavior was slightly unexpected.

This has been changed for the next update: <urlcp header> values now override values set automatically or by other <urlcp> functions.
