I'm OK with making the extra request conditional on a config knob. However, as you said in the linked post, we must make sure that the error message displayed clearly asks users to set the knob and try again. Working around broken proxies will turn into a support nightmare in many organistations, even with a clear error message (cause most users don't really read or understand our error messages ;) But having a clear error message should help many users a lot.
