Proxies should not return hop-by-hop header fields #362

Closed
@bsvensson

Description

As per https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-14#section-7.1.3 and https://www.mnot.net/blog/2011/07/11/what_proxies_must_do there are several "hop-by-hop header fields" that should not be parsed along by proxies, neither in requests nor responses.

  • Connection
  • Keep-Alive
  • Proxy-Authenticate
  • Proxy-Authorization
  • TE
  • Trailer
  • Transfer-Encoding
  • Upgrade

Some of the resource-proxies already do part of this. It would be good to test all of them...
