RFC 2616 is obsolete. HTTP is now governed by RFC 7230-7235.

You said this was a reverse-proxy. The rules for reverse-proxy are the
same as the rules for origin servers, not the rules for proxies.
That includes the relevance of RFC 7230 section 5.3.1.

<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-5.3>

So either you *dont* have a reverse-proxy, or the problem is something
other than what you think.
