Add proxy Via: header management. Currently, Via: headers can be left 

unchanged (compatibility), can be set to protocol and host only,
or to protocol, host and comment. Optionally, all Via: headers can
be suppressed if intranet privacy in companies is desired when going out
over a firewall apache.

This directive controls the use of the <SAMP>Via:</SAMP> HTTP header

by the proxy. Its intended use is to control the flow of of proxy

requests along a chain of proxy servers.

See RFC2068 (HTTP/1.1) for an explanation of <SAMP>Via:</SAMP> header lines.<UL>

<LI>If set to <EM>off</EM>, which is the default, no special

processing is performed. If a request or reply contains a <SAMP>Via:</SAMP> header,

it is passed through unchanged.

<LI>If set to <EM>on</EM>, each request and reply will get a <SAMP>Via:</SAMP> header

line added for the current host.

<LI>If set to <EM>full</EM>, each generated <SAMP>Via:</SAMP> header line will

additionally have the Apache server version shown as a <SAMP>Via:</SAMP> comment field.

<LI>If set to <EM>block</EM>, every proxy request will have all its

<SAMP>Via:</SAMP> header lines removed. No new <SAMP>Via:</SAMP> header will be generated.

</UL>
