That's an intereting use case, which I find totally legitimate and that we need to figure how to address. In 2.0 you can still rely on rspdel but we then need to have a solution for 2.2. Probably that in the short term using Lua will be the easiest solution. And maybe we'd need to add a new action such as "del-headers" which would take a regex or a prefix. By the way, are all your headers identified by the same prefix ? I'm asking because if that's the case, maybe we could append an optional argument to del-header to mention that we want to delete all those starting with this prefix and not just this exact one.
