NAME

HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::standard - An internal filter to respect RFC2616

This is an internal filter used by HTTP::Proxy to enforce behaviour compliant with RFC 2616.

This filter implements a single method that is called automatically:

filter(): Enforce RFC 2616-compliant behaviour, by adding the CWVia: and CWX-Forwarded-For: headers (except when the proxy was instructed not to add them), decrementing the CWMax-Forwards: header and removing the hop-by-hop and LWP::UserAgent headers.

Philippe BooK Bruhat, <book@cpan.org>.

Thanks to Gisle Aas, for directions regarding the handling of the hop-by-hop headers.
