I often see the Content-Transfer-Encoding header in user-provided examples. It should be noted that
this is a MIME header and is not actually used in HTTP, which uses Transfer-Encoding and
Content-Encoding instead (see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11
and http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.41).
For example, the HTTP equivalent to the MIME header 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary' is
'Content-Encoding: identity'.
Keep that in mind when sending headers.
