I used son-of-RFC1036 as a guideline. In this document, a header is
specified as

               header          = start-line *continuation
               start-line      = header-name ":" space [ nonblank-text ] eol
               continuation    = space nonblank-text eol
               nonblank-text   = [ space ] text-character *( space-or-text )
               text-character  = <any ASCII character except NUL (ASCII 0),
                                   HT (ASCII 9), LF (ASCII 10), CR (ASCII 13),
                                   or blank (ASCII 32)>
               space           = 1*( <HT (ASCII 9)> / <blank (ASCII 32)> )

If I understand this correctly, a "space" may be one or more spaces or
tabs (or both mixed).
