Amaury Denoyelle 7b89aa5b19 BUG/MINOR: h1: do not forward h2c upgrade header token
haproxy supports tunnel establishment through HTTP Upgrade mechanism.
Since the following commit, extended CONNECT is also supported for
HTTP/2 both on frontend and backend side.

  commit 9bf957335e
  MEDIUM: mux_h2: generate Extended CONNECT from htx upgrade

As specified by HTTP/2 rfc, "h2c" can be used by an HTTP/1.1 client to
request an upgrade to HTTP/2. In haproxy, this is not supported so it
silently ignores this. However, Connection and Upgrade headers are
forwarded as-is on the backend side.

If using HTTP/1 on the backend side and the server supports this upgrade
mechanism, haproxy won't be able to parse the HTTP response. If using
HTTP/2, mux backend tries to incorrectly convert the request to an
Extended CONNECT with h2c protocol, which may also prevent the response
to be transmitted.

To fix this, flag HTTP/1 request with "h2c" or "h2" token in an upgrade
header. On converting the header list to HTX, the upgrade header is
skipped if any of this token is present and the H1_MF_CONN_UPG flag is
removed.

This issue can easily be reproduced using curl --http2 argument to
connect to an HTTP/1 frontend.

This must be backported up to 2.4 after a period of observation.
