And you would take this as a definitive answer ?

Look closely on what this page shows and you will see headers your browser did not send (x-forwarded-for even without a proxy) and will miss some your browser did send (connection, cache-control).
Why ? Because it's certainly hosted behind some reverse proxy.

At the end of the day, you have no clue about what headers you did really send or not.

Guillaume's point is a good one, get back to what you know.

And on a network oriented mailing list, a dump of packets never looks like rocket science :)

I for one do not have a webpage ready to output headers, although it would only take me 1 minute to login to a box and create one. It seems easier to forward something.. no?

Yes, I understand headers and issues with them, but it does show the offending headers if they are present, which was the point (x-forwarded is not of interest)..
