Intercepting proxies does not exists in the HTTP specifications, and
there is things which need to be done differently in such setups.

But Via is not one of them. A intercepting proxy which do not insert Via
will break things just the same ways as a normal proxy or intermediary
so yes it MUST insert Via.

A semantically transparent proxy is just a proxy, and MUST insert Via.
