It appears I did understand Giovanni's need correctly. He should be
able to use Sahil's checkdbl.pl daemon with some modifications. He'd
simply check that X-custom-header exists. If it doesn't,
header_checks can't detect missing headers.

The headers are sent to the TCP server daemon one line at a time, IIRC.
Is it not possible to simply code the daemon to a set variable, say
our_custom_header=0, and increment it if the header exists? After
processing all headers, if our_custom_header=0, then haven't we detected
the absence of the header?
The data the TCP map receives is:
GET [space] "one header" [newline]
after which the map can send a reply.
Some problems you'll need to address:
How do you know which message a header belongs to?
How do you know when you've seen all the headers for a
particular message?
How does a map send a reply when no request is made?
