			# Represents the `vary` header, which specifies the request headers a server considers when determining the response.
			#
			# The `vary` header is used in HTTP responses to indicate which request headers affect the selected response. It allows caches to differentiate stored responses based on specific request headers.
			class Vary < Split
				# Initializes a `Vary` header with the given value. The value is split into distinct entries and converted to lowercase for normalization.
				#
				# @parameter value [String] the raw header value containing request header names separated by commas.

				# Adds one or more comma-separated values to the `vary` header. The values are converted to lowercase for normalization.

				# @parameter value [String] the value or values to add, separated by commas.
