There is no longer an implicit list of hop-by-hop headers.

If you are sending any header your proxy needs to comply with the sender
criteria for that header. The headers pointed out by RFC2616 are all
defined with a MUST on being added to Connection: header explicitly, or
were actually having hopX-to-hopY behaviour where X and Y may have any
number of intermediary hops between them.

You are free to code a default list from the header definitions in your
application. But its just a convenience to fix incorrect input (missing
Connection: entries).
