Comment (by dd32):

 The implementation has the ability to accept multiple signatures from the
 remote server, which is built around having multiple header values
 returned.
 The HTTP protocol however allows servers and proxies to combine multiple
 values into a single header, for example: `X-Content-Signature: SigOne,
 SigTwo`. For maximum compatibility we should take that info consideration.

 [attachment:"39309-single-header.diff"] adds support for that. Note that
 Whitespace and commas are not part of the character set of base64 encoded
 values, and are safe to split by here.
