Note that the header may be sent over HTTP or HTTPS connection just once
with a value of up to 68 years. And the domain will be HTTPS from then
on as far as that client is concerned.

Dropping Strict-Transport-Security therefore does nothing useful.

But Squid replacing it with a new value of "max-age=0;
includeSubDomains" will turn off the HSTS in the client for that domain.

Be careful with that though. HSTS is actually a good thing most of the
time. No matter how annoying it is to us proxying.


Regarding Alternate-Protocol;
 The latest Squid will auto-remove *always*. It usually indicates an
protocol experiment taking place by the website being visited (ie Google
and QUIC/SPDY) and does a lot of real damage to network security and
usability in any proxied network.
