I tested your test case equally.
Even though your test makes the header parameter incorrect artificially
and keeps going with wrong setting repeatedly, we need to assure that
the similar result can be found practically with normal running.
I'll test it heavily and check more.
And if you have more review about this version, please let me know.

Thanks for your review.
