Hmm…removing a filter that doesn’t exist isn’t an error, but relying on a side effect of a filter being there and now suddenly it is not there any more certainly will be. You’re right on the ABI. There are two approaches that leap to my mind, one is provide an optional function that signals “don’t add http filters on non http connections”, the second is to keep this change on v2.5+ and use version check to remove filters on any code that is intended to run correctly on v2.4.
