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.
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.)
SEE ALSO¶
