Remarks

Any value can be entered for the Name argument, but there is a pre-defined list of standard HTTP response header field names which have been defined as metadata for this service to make it easier for the developer to select one. The current list is as follows:

Access-Control-Allow-Headers
Access-Control-Allow-Methods
Access-Control-Allow-Origin
Allow
Content-Encoding
Content-Language
Content-Length
Content-Location
Content-Disposition
Content-Type
Date
Expires
Last-Modified
Link
Location
Retry-After
Server
Set-Cookie
Transfer-Encoding
Vary
WWW-Authenticate

The Append argument is to be used for header fields that can store multiple values, such as different HTTP methods for the Allow header field or various properties in the Content-Types header field.
