Research direction

Start by locating the HTTP header-name definitions and the HTTP/2 outbound-message validation described in the issue. Add constants for the keep-alive and proxy-connection names, then verify that the relevant checks can use them and that existing tests still pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A-headers B-rfc S-feature

The HTTP/2.0 spec requires implementations to verify that these headers do not get included in outbound messages, and thus must check for them.

Providing constants would help speed up these checks.
