One way that perhaps is possible is to split the request headers into  
three groups, user agent-specific (accept, host, user-agent etc),  
network-specific (x-up-calling-line-id, x-msisdn etc) and site-specific  
(cookie). Processing of captured data can then generate rules for how to  
generate the headers for each set (Nokia5130c-2 device, AT&T no privilege  
network, Google search logged in repeat visit).

And immediately I realized that there are cross over issues, like the  
cookie header both being a site specific header, with user-agent specific  
formatting, as well as possibly added by the network equipment for  
specific destinations...
