Very dangoruos, I think. An administrator should ONLY do it if he can be
sure that there are no more caching proxies between his proxy and the
clients. But THEN it seems to be useful and reasonable. Of course, the
caching proxy deleting the "Vary:" header should NOT ignore it just
because he is told to strip it.

What about Squid? Does Squid ignore stripped headers?

Greetings,
