NAME¶
HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::standard - An internal filter to respect RFC2616
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.
SEE ALSO¶
