HTTP Duplicated Header

Detects when a request has more than one of the same header. This is commonly used in request smuggling and other web based attacks. HTTP Request Smuggling exploits inconsistencies in how front-end and back-end servers parse HTTP requests by using ambiguous or malformed headers to hide malicious requests within legitimate ones. Attackers leverage duplicate headers, particularly Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding, to cause different servers in the chain to disagree on where one request ends and another begins. RFC7230 states that a sender MUST NOT generate multiple header fields with the same field name in a message unless either the entire field value for that header field is defined as a comma-separated list or the header field is a well-known exception.
