Apparently there is no single stable version with this directive, I
think it was added during development and removed later. Thus both
the doc entry and the parsing can be removed.

While I totally agree with this, I want users of 1.9 to experience the
least possible friction when upgrading to 2.0 because 1.9 is not LTS.
However I'm totally OK with removing them from the doc right now and
removing them completely in 2.1. In addition, I wanted to remove all
the req* and rsp* directives for 1.9 but I recalled it too late in the
development cycle. Similarly I'd like to see all these directives emit
a warning now and be removed in 2.1. Their existence causes too much
trouble, they are not evaluated in the same order as the other ones,
and they are totally emulated nowadays (the header block is artificially
rebuilt, passed to them for regex processing, and the result is parsed
again and reinjected into the headers block). Thus I would welcome a
patch adding the warnings and recommendations for alternatives to all
of them. This along with the legacy HTTP code removal are the things
that could deserve opening the -next branch if someone is interested in
starting these cleanups.
BTW, I merged your two other patches.
Thanks,
Willy
