Section 4.1.5.5 states the following: "When forwarding an HTTP request with altered HTTP header fields, in addition to complying with the rules of normal HTTP operation, proxies must include in the request additional fields of the form "X-Device-"<original header name> whose values are verbatim copies of the corresponding unaltered header field values, so that it is possible to reconstruct the original header field values." The intent of the statement is that the specific way of naming the backup fields and the fact that their values are the original, unaltered ones sent by the device are, together, the indispensable elements serving to restore the original HTTP header fields. The construction of the sentence should fully reflect this intent. I suggest modifying it thus: "[...], so that it is possible to reconstruct the original header fields." This makes it clear that the conventions adopted enable servers to reconstruct the entire HTTP header fields (names and values), not just their values. E.Casais
