Description

proxy/http/HttpSM.cc:        is_eligible_post_request &= !vc->get_is_internal_request();

HttpSM::tunnel_handler_ua does shenanigans based on whether this is an internal transaction or not. This is a complete hack. Internal transactions are no supposed to behave differently.

AFAICT, this hack from TS-3404 led to TS-3777, which led to TS-4924, which makes it impossible for protocol plugins to use keepalive.
