Wouldn't it be better to use the "Forwarded" header for this?

  Why better? Via is a MUST https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.7.1 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.7.1 Forwarded is OPTIONAL https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7239#section-4 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7239#section-4 Protecting against loops only works with MUST headers.

    Makes sense. Thanks!

    Additionally, Forwarded is only for requests, while Via is for both requests and responses.
