Most times it's too late to add a header as the header portion has already been sent to the requesting client, and you can't send a trailer header without both the following - Indication of positive response without error - The headers you place in the trailer needs to be advertised in the initial header portion. > One question is... if a Transfer encoding of gzip is used + connection > closure form the server to the proxy, and the client sent a TE: gzip to > the proxy, should the proxy gunzip the content, then gzip it back (as > TE/TEncoding is hop-by-hop) ? (and it that case an error may be noticed) ? Doesn't really matter for the initial request, but it should at least verify the Transfer-Encoding if storing the object in cache and discard the object if the Transfer-Encoding isn't decodeable.
