This is simply not true.

Why would a client ever send a 16KB HEADERS to a lightbulb which never
has and never will emit a single set-cookies header ?

Only if a client, point blank, decides to send a request larger than the
server can handle, will there be a problem.

Please detail the scenarious where that happens ?
