MEDIUM: mux-h1: Support C-L/T-E header suppressions when sending messages
During the 2.9 dev cycle, to be able to support zero-copy data forwarding, a
change on the H1 mux was performed to ignore the headers modifications about
payload representation (Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers).
It appears there are some use-cases where it could be handy to change values
of these headers or just remove them. For instance, we can imagine to remove
these headers on a server response to force the old HTTP/1.0 close mode
behavior. So thaks to this patch, the rules are relaxed. It is now possible
to remove these headers. When this happens, the following rules are applied:
* If "Content-Length" header is removed but a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
header is found, no special processing is performed. The message remains
chunked. However the close mode is not forced.
* If "Transfer-Encoding" header is removed but a "Content-Length" header is
found, no special processing is performed. The payload length must comply
to the specified content length.
* If one of them is removed and the other one is not found, a response is
switch the close mode and a "Content-Length: 0" header is forced on a
request.
With these rules, we fit the best to the user expectations.
This patch depends on the following commit:
* MINOR: mux-h1: Add a flag to ignore the request payload
This patch should fix the issue #2536. It should be backported it to 2.9
with the commit above.
