Hello,

Sorry, I can't reproduce this. It appears to be fine. Test case:
start pen:
# pen -H -d -f 8080 localhost:8081

make a dummy request with a few blank lines to simulate \r\n\r\n:
# echo >>req <<EOF
> POST /foo HTTP/1.0
>
>
> EOF

# cat req
POST /foo HTTP/1.0

#

start a dummy server:
# nc -l 8081

send the request:
# cat req | nc localhost 8080

observe in nc window:
# nc -l 8081
POST /foo HTTP/1.0
X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1

#

One X-Forwarded-For header. What am I missing?
