Justification: user security hole
Latest 2.1.6-alpha fixes a security in the proxy HTTP code:
| The 2.1.6-alpha release addresses a security vulnerability present
| in all previous 2.x versions. This fault did not affect Apache 1.3.x
| (which did not proxy keepalives or chunked transfer encoding);
| Proxy HTTP: If a response contains both Transfer-Encoding
| and a Content-Length, remove the Content-Length to eliminate
| an HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerability and don't reuse the
| connection, stopping some HTTP Request Spoofing attacks.
Cheers,
Moritz
