    RWS is used when at least one linear whitespace octet is required to
    separate field tokens. RWS &SHOULD; be produced as a single SP.
-   Multiple RWS octets octets that occur within field-content &SHOULD; either
-   be replaced with a single SP or transformed to all SP octets (each WSP
-   octet other than SP replaced with SP) before interpreting the field value
-   or forwarding the message downstream.
