An HTTP header is one of the bases of the HTTP protocol.It can provide information of the page, such as whether it should be cached or not, how big the file is, or what kind of file it is.The http-equiv attribute is accepted as an HTTP header at times, browsers will ignore some of them, but they accept certain ones.A simple use for the http-equiv attribute is to tell the browser what content type your page is and what character encoding it uses:

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

I'd suggest you install and run a tool like Fiddler (see my signature) if you're really interested.WARNING: It may blow your mind if you understand what it's all about. If you don't want to be a "geek", this knowledge is likely to irreversably turn you into one.
