Apologies if this is clear in the text, but it didn't seem to be when
I scanned 1.1. Some older proxies seemed to be modifying URLs, e.g.,
if you
GET http://foo.com/test#frob HTTP/1.0
they might ask foo.com for
GET /test%23frob HTTP/1.0
or vice versa. Is there any reason to disallow this, and if so, what
language would be put in the spec to disallow it; alternatively, if
proxies might do this kind of transformation, what should we say?
