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:
Enforce RFC 2616-compliant behaviour, by adding the Via: and X-Forwarded-For: headers (except when the proxy was instructed not to add them), decrementing the Max-Forwards: header and removing the hop-by-hop and LWP::UserAgent headers.
Via:
X-Forwarded-For:
Max-Forwards:
Note that the filter will automatically remove the Accept-Encoding headers if the proxy has at least one HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter filter. (This is to ensure that the filters will receive uncompressed data.)

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