Maybe because at the time 2616 was written, intermediaries were almost only proxies. But I agree with Roy here, if I install haproxy to load-balance a squid farm, the proxy-auth headers are for squid and not for haproxy. So it's not hop-by-hop, it's for the first explicit proxy in the chain. So I agree with Roy here. > Are you saying that they shouldn't be included in Connection, ever? I would personally suggest so.
