Very simple HTTP server in python.
Usage::
./dummy-web-server.py [<port>]
Send a GET request::
curl http://localhost
Send a HEAD request::
curl -I http://localhost
Send a POST request::
curl -d "foo=bar&bin=baz" http://localhost

Transfer-Encoding is a hop by hop header. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-13.5.1 |

See the http.Request docs. (on phone, so no link) |

@bradfitz - Do you mean Transfer-Encoding is also included in "certain headers" ? https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Request

Transfer-Encoding header is missing when http.Request.Header is printed/accessed.

What did you do?
We have a nginx server that routes the requests to go based http server.
https://play.golang.org/p/EA1vcoiFi_J
What did you expect to see?
We expected to see the header Transfer-Encoding
What did you see instead?
Missing header Transfer-Encoding
Few Details:
Http-Client (User-Agent [Go-http-client/1.1]) -> Nginx -> Http server (Go based server)
Sent a PUT request from client with chunked encoding header to nginx in turn nginx sends the request to http server.
I was able to see the headers in the pcap dumps captured at client, nginx. But on go http server I didn't the header.
But in the go http server output I didn't see the Transfer-Encoding header.
As a part of debug process I replaces go http server with python http server. I was able to see the Transfer-Encoding header on http python server.
