# MIME-Encode HTTP Header Values

MIME-encoding of HTTP header values:

* Empty or `0`: The agent MIME-encodes the value of HTTP headers if said value is a multi-byte Unicode string.

* `1`: The agent MIME-encodes the value of every HTTP header.

* `2`: The agent does not MIME-encode the value of any HTTP header.

Default: Empty
