Remarks
Calling this method is equivalent to calling the Set method on the collection returned by the Headers property.
If the header specified in name does not exist, this method inserts a new header into the Headers property's collection. If name is present in the collection, this method replaces the existing value with value. To add a value to an existing header without replacing the existing value, use the AppendHeader method.
