It may be sometimes useful/required to check (or even modify) every header in the request.
For example, one of the use cases we have is to allow only white listed headers in the response and strip off the others. Another use case is related to SPDY client connections, where some older origins don¹t support lower case headers and require each header to be converted to camel case.
