Max-Forwards MUST NOT be added

           Summary: Max-Forwards MUST NOT be added
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
               URL: http://coad.measurement-factory.com/cgi-

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other

Looks like a possible RFC 2616 MUST violation.  HTTP
specifically does not allow intermediaries to add
Max-Forwards header (see bug report URL or links from 
the test case trace for RFC quotes). 

A different way to detect loops should be used 
(Via: or an extension header).

See attached trace(s) for details and ways to reproduce
the violation mentioned above.

Test case IDs in the trace link to human-oriented test case
description and RFC quotes, if available.
