  Manipulate the HTTP Vary header
  
  ## Installation
  
  This is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) module available through the
  [npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/). Installation is done using the
  [`npm install` command](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally): 
  
  ```sh
  $ npm install vary
  ```
  
  ## API
  
  <!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars -->
  
  ```js
  var vary = require('vary')
  ```
  
  ### vary(res, field)
  
  Adds the given header `field` to the `Vary` response header of `res`.
  This can be a string of a single field, a string of a valid `Vary`
  header, or an array of multiple fields.
  
  This will append the header if not already listed, otherwise leaves
  it listed in the current location.
  
  <!-- eslint-disable no-undef -->
  
  ```js
  // Append "Origin" to the Vary header of the response
  vary(res, 'Origin')
  ```
  
  ### vary.append(header, field)
  
  Adds the given header `field` to the `Vary` response header string `header`.
  This can be a string of a single field, a string of a valid `Vary` header,
  or an array of multiple fields.
  
  This will append the header if not already listed, otherwise leaves
  it listed in the current location. The new header string is returned.
  
  <!-- eslint-disable no-undef -->
  
  ```js
  // Get header string appending "Origin" to "Accept, User-Agent"
  vary.append('Accept, User-Agent', 'Origin')
  ```
  
  ## Examples
  
  ### Updating the Vary header when content is based on it
  
  ```js
  var http = require('http')
  var vary = require('vary')
  
  http.createServer(function onRequest (req, res) {
    // about to user-agent sniff
    vary(res, 'User-Agent')
  
    var ua = req.headers['user-agent'] || ''
    var isMobile = /mobi|android|touch|mini/i.test(ua)
  
    // serve site, depending on isMobile
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html')
    res.end('You are (probably) ' + (isMobile ? '' : 'not ') + 'a mobile user')
  })
  ```
  
  ## Testing
  
  ```sh
  $ npm test
  ```
