Strictly speaking, when issuing a normal (non-pass, non-pipe) request to
the backend, all headers that somehow identify the client should be
removed, to avoid the chance of the backend basing its response on one of
them. This includes headers like {{{User-Agent}}}, {{{X-Forwarded-For}}}
(see #203), {{{Via}}}, etc.
This can of course all be done in VCL.
