HTTP-EQUIV is the equivalent to that of HTTP headers. From my understanding it is fairly outdated and not too widespread in most browsers. You are better off handling this type of thing server-side with a scripting language.

Name attributes are used for page description things usually such as the keywords, description, author and things of that nature. Search engines still take this data into consideration, but don't really weight it heavily as ranking criteria.
