DESCRIPTION
This is an internal filter used by HTTP::Proxy to enforce behaviour compliant with RFC 2616.METHOD
This filter implements a single method that is called automatically:- filter()
-
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.
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.)
