Title  

The Title header is a non-specification header that is supposed to give the title of the entity. This header was part of an early HTTP/1.0 extension and was used primarily for HTML pages, which have clear title markers that servers can use. Because many, if not most, media types on the Web do not have such an easy way to extract a title, this header has limited usefulness. As a result, it never made it into the official specification, though some older servers on the Net still send it faithfully.

Notes

The Title header is not defined in RFC 2616. It was originally defined in the HTTP/1.0 draft definition (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/HTTP2.html) but has since been removed from the official specification.
