Description
Hello.
We are using ToxiProxy for negative testing our application.
One of our endpoints returns a file stream over http and puts 2 information in headers:
"Content-Length" : this is a commonly used http header
"File-Checksum" : this is our own application specific header
When requesting a file throw ToxiProxy, the "File-Checksum" header is missing and we can see these two headers:
"Content-Length"
"Date"
Question: is this an expected behaviour of ToxiProxy? If yes, could it be useful to keep the headers as is without changes?
Thank you for advice

Start by reproducing the file-stream request through ToxiProxy and inspect how response headers are handled. Confirm whether the custom File-Checksum header is dropped, then verify that the header is preserved while existing headers such as Content-Length and Date remain correct.
