Right now, http_header looks at the whole header, except for things in the Cookie field (http_cookie), the URI 
(http_uri) the status code (http_stat_code) and the method (http_method).  So to do what you are asking you'll need two 
content matches each with their own modifier.

This will change somewhat for the better in a future release of Snort, but for now, that's what you have.
