What ?? I'm shocked ! :D

I spent 2 hours last night reading parts of the RFC9110 about HTTP and I've
learnt a lot about HTTP headers.

For example, the "X-" prefix for non-standard headers has been deprecated
since 2012.
It was a good idea in theory but proven to be counter productive, based on
the long running experimentation in email and SIP (and HTTP).

For Varnish I guess we're stuck with the X- prefix since it became a
de-facto standard.
