Proxy shold not forward request headers that matches a Connection token
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TS-467
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-467
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HTTP
            Reporter: Leif Hedstrom
             Fix For: 2.3.0


If a client sends a request like

X-foobar: fum
Connection: ,,X-foobar,,

the proxy (Traffic Server) MUST remove the header X-foobar before forwarding the request. From the RFC:

 HTTP/1.1 proxies MUST parse the Connection header field before a
   message is forwarded and, for each connection-token in this field,
   remove any header field(s) from the message with the same name as the
   connection-token.


and

 A system receiving an HTTP/1.0 (or lower-version) message that
   includes a Connection header MUST, for each connection-token in this
   field, remove and ignore any header field(s) from the message with
   the same name as the connection-token.
