Description
Since the integration of the HTTPOnly changes, CR 7095980, the map returned by HttpURLConnection.getHeaderFields is not unmodifiable.

This is contradaction to the API specification. URLConnection.getHeaderFields() : "Returns an unmodifiable Map of the header fields. The Map keys are Strings that represent the response-header field names. Each Map value is an unmodifiable List of Strings that represents the corresponding field values."
