Once you're at the point where you have to further decrease your margin in order to make some purely cosmetical feature configurable, maybe it's time that you re-think whether you really need that feature in the first place or not

That's just a way to spell out the HTTP 2 request-line (its http/1 equivalent would be the very first line of the request like `GET / HTTP/1.0`) in human-readable form. No parser is ever going to parse these strings. HTT

RFC6648 is from 2012 though, but Sir Terry Pratchett died in 2015, which is when this initiative started. As such it's violating RFC6648 because it continues to use the X- prefix.

What a wonderful idea. I have just updated out frontend server config to include the header. On thing though: According to RFC6648, we should not be using the X- prefix any more for custom headers ( https://tools.ietf.org/htm
