Value starting with a "Space" in HttpURLConnection.add Request Property?

This is the code in the client:
connection.addRequestProperty("key", value);
This is the code in the server :

String user=req.getHeader("key");
System.out.println(user);


If the value is, for eg, "abcd xyz" in the client, printed value in the server is the same. But if the value is " abcd xyz", the value printed in the server is "abcd xyz" i,e the starting space is not there.
What is the problem here?

In HTTP header field values, leading and trailing whitespace is not significant. Thus, they will be gone after parsing.
