I agree w/ Kris:
Limiting HTTP headers is a real problem. I see no reason for this.
Certainly not for security reasons.
How can you know that it is safe to send any header to any server?
Note that no access checks are done before sending GET requests, so
allowing any header there seems like it has great potential to have
undesired effects on servers.
Note that modifying operations (POST, DELETE, etc.) do have an access
check performed before execution. If nothing else is changed, could the
spec be modified so that it allowed all headers for such operations?
