Hi Willy,

Being devil's advocate : isn't the point that even if this is a documented, 
standardized and intended behavior, users relying on the reverse proxy for 
security/sanity checks could by tricked by this feature inadvertently ?

And sadly, this one already started to make some noise there about his
recent discovery of a 20-years old standard:

   https://twitter.com/theBumbleSec

Had he asked if we supported 101, we could even have saved him time
in his HTTP discover test by pointing him to the doc:

   
http://git.haproxy.org/?p=haproxy.git;a=blob;f=doc/configuration.txt;h=c1f6f82;hb=HEAD#l332

Probably that next year he will discover that we also support CONNECT.
It's not even funny, the world is really doomed...
