| Neat little fix (insofar as that problem admits of a neat fix).
| But I dislike using an input filter just to manipulate request headers
| (that's what processing hooks are for), and the sysop shouldn't
| have to configure it.
| 
| Does something bad happen if you put the check in a post_read_request
| hook instead?

Thanks for the pointer :). I will update the patch.
