Re: [users@httpd] Re: How to preserve all request headers in reverse proxy (mod_proxy)

[Todd Volkert <tv...@gmail.com>]

Haha - the problem is I'm an idiot :)  Your message made me go back and
check my assumptions, and sure enough, I took stupid pills today.

I had created a test page that spits out the request headers in HTML, and I
checked the page in Firefox bypassing the proxy, then checked it *by
telnetting to port 80* using the proxy.  Of course there were no user-agent
request headers when I used telnet!  I saw the lack of request headers and
thought "the proxy is dropping them!"
