proxy: Correctly handle the Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length
headers. Discard the request Content-Length whenever T-E: chunked
is used, always passing one of either C-L or T-E: chunked whenever
the request includes a request body. Resolves an entire class of
proxy HTTP Request Splitting/Spoofing attacks. [William Rowe]
*) Added TraceEnable [on|off|extended] per-server directive to alter
the behavior of the TRACE method. This addresses a flaw in proxy
conformance to RFC 2616 - previously the proxy server would accept
a TRACE request body although the RFC prohibited it. The default
remains 'TraceEnable on'. [William Rowe]
