I was not aware of that intention, I may have missed it.

In my test installs, I did not use a filter file, and in the debug
output I saw leafnode sending XHDR, and it took my INN quite some time
collecting those 100 header lines. It seems INN could be optimized here
and return back XHDR immediately if the requested field is present in
its XOVER. I did not check INN 2.3, because many sites should not be too
fond of upgrading since INN 2.3 changes configuration schemes massively;
thus INN 2.2 will be with us for quite some time still.
