I'm OK to keep supporting it, as it still lives deep in some of my
transitive dependencies.

I would even consider adding a toggle to all versions that says: "Even
though I've added a header manually, I don't want it magically
forwarded on any redirect-type of operation. Maybe there's 2 APIs: add
short vs. long lived header.

This comes up so often as a security issue, that I wish we could force
users to call a "I know what I'm doing" API because adding a plain old
header seems like normal behavior for these folks.

2c,
Gary
