Got a quick fix for this.

Apparently, this very OneServer doesn't recognize the "Forwarded: by..."
header. Simply comment off this following code in http.c should
fix it.

if (cfd > -1 && opt_forwarded_for) {
  sprintf(ybuf, "%s for %s\r\n", ForwardedBy, fd_table[cfd].ipaddr);
} else {
  sprintf(ybuf, "%s\r\n", ForwardedBy);
}

By the way, is "Forwarded:" a value HTTP header ? Can't find
it on the HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 spec.
