#220 Fix case-sensitivity of HTTP headers in models - #364

It don't see the value of adding a wrapper around the Tree Map. The only additional feature it has is mergeOrReplace which is always called statically. The factory method could be extracted (if even needed at all) from the class and TreeMap could be used direly

@richarddd This PR/code is not solely mine, but in my opinion I see the value in the original author's choosing of a dedicated class to represent HTTP Headers. Observe that that wrapped TreeMap uses a particular case setting parameter (case insensitivity) rather than just being any Map/TreeMap.

You cannot infer this detail from just the fact of using any Map/TreeMap. So configuring this in serialization would be (imo) uglier with either being configured in some sort of config builder outside the class (which makes it harder to understand how the class actually works at a glance), or using some sort of annotation-based specifier on every class member to do with http headers, of which there are a lot. (imo this deals with the "identifying at a glance" issue better but calls for a lot of repetition/low maintainability)

From my perspective as a user of the library, the wrapper allows for some useful documentation. If I need to deep-dive into the library/code, I could see that I'm always dealing with the same special type of map that particularly implements the properties of HTTP Headers.

For the maintainers of the library, maintaining/adding additional properties to this particular Map is centralised, and would probably integrate more easily into any typical serialization framework. E.g. changing the internal implementation to maybe use a regular hashmap with case-insensitivity built in in some other way is also easier.

I see the argument of there being a bunch of generic code/duplication, and could see a perspective of just extending TreeMap and providing that constructor parameter to the parent constructor. But in that case you could end up with people using the map as a TreeMap potentially expecting the properties of a TreeMap, when the fact that it is such is coincidence and could be changed at a later time. So in my opinion it's still an useful level of abstraction that helps maintainability there, too.

WDYT?

EDIT: I got completely sidetracked and forgot about using a factory. I think this is part of that "configuration being hard to follow/maintain" issue too, though. (Unless there's a way to do that to sidestep both issues, of course)

WDYT?

Ah right, i did not think about serializing/deserializing makes sense to have then as a wrapper class
