Description

• REMAP_PSEUDO_HOOK is not similar to READ_RESPONSE_HDR_HOOK.

• Think that READ_RESPONSE_HDR_HOOK and READ_REQUEST_PRE_REMAP_HOOK are aliases to each other.
  ( #define TS_HTTP_READ_REQUEST_PRE_REMAP_HOOK TS_HTTP_PRE_REMAP_HOOK /* backwards compat */)

• Should note that READ_REQUEST_PRE_REMAP_HOOK/READ_REQUEST_HDR_HOOK can not be applied to remap rules. Just global rules.

• REMAP_PSEUDO_HOOK doesn't show in https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/developer-guide/plugins/hooks-and-transactions/index.en.html#http-transaction-state-diagram , so don't know when it actually fires.

• We should present the hooks in order of their firing. Eg, READ_RESPONSE_HDR_HOOK should be after pre_remap...

• Seems like we should have a diagram similar to https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/developer-guide/plugins/hooks-and-transactions/index.en.html#http-transaction-state-diagram on the page. (With the header_rewrite names, and simplified – don't need all the gory oval detail.)
