Section 13.5.1 says:
The following HTTP/1.1 headers are hop-by-hop headers: - Connection - Keep-Alive - Proxy-Authenticate - Proxy-Authorization - TE - Trailers - Transfer-Encoding - Upgrade
It should say:
The following HTTP/1.1 headers are hop-by-hop headers: - Connection - Keep-Alive - Proxy-Authenticate - Proxy-Authorization - TE - Trailer - Transfer-Encoding - Upgrade
Notes:
Trailers (with a s) does not seem to a header field, just a keyword for TE.
I think that Trailer (without a s) is expected here.
AFAIK, RFC 7230 does not have such an explicit list and is not concerned.
