- metadatum
- A key-value pair included in the HTTP header. It is a
2-tuple where the first entry is the key and the
second is the value, i.e. (key, value). The metadata key is an ASCII str,
and must be a valid HTTP header name. The metadata value can be
either a valid HTTP ASCII str, or bytes. If bytes are provided,
the key must end with ‘-bin’, i.e.
('binary-metadata-bin', b'\\x00\\xFF') - metadata
