You probably don't want to use a hash map for header_checks. Use regexp
or, even better, pcre.

Read regexp_table(5) or pcre_table(5) for a syntax description. It seems
that you're missing a / at the beginning of the line. Use postmap(1) to
debug your expressions.

(If you *really* want to use a hash map, which I assume will work, read
access(5).)
