I agree that force-http10 is not good name and semantic. Actually
these proxies is not busted: it's allowed to HTTP/1.1 proxies to
require content-length if they want. And strictly speaking proxies may
have different behavior for different requests.
So I'm going to commit my patch with 'http-disable-chunked-requests'
and nominate for backport. This should provide workaround for current
users. And then continue discussion about full/automatic solution.
