matching headers - accept about mux

[kisielk]

Accept needs special parsing beyond what you can do with regular expressions. Trying to use the Headers directive is probably not the best fit for it. The values of the accept header need to be sorted based on their q value and then dispatched to the best matching handler. Currently there is not support for this in Mux buit could probably be added with another directive.

Actually there is a much bigger problem here. It seems that Go1.0.3 has not completed the net/html implementation:

// TODO: Parse specific header values:
//  Accept
//  Accept-Encoding
//  Accept-Language
//  Authorization
//  Cache-Control
... and many more

You can read any of the headers just fine, there's just no parsing of the
strings in to values that are convenient to work with, as you have
discovered when trying to match the Accept header.
