The concatanation is done by the browser. This (rather unexpected) behavior is
specified in http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/#the-setrequestheader-method
and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4.2. It goes further: Two
headers with the same key and different value are semantically equivalent to
one header with a the two values concatenated. In a way, setRequestHeader()
should have been named appendRequestHeader().
