That Proxy-Authenticate and Proxy-Authorization are forbidden over h2
is not actually specified anywhere, plus h2 also supports CONNECT
requests, which are specifically made to do requests over a proxy,
and those proxies may require authentication, sometimes through
Proxy-Authorization.

Note that there is an openwebdocs project that just started to clear
up any MDN-induced confusion in implementations:

openwebdocs/project#43

Also, Daniel Stenberg (curl) also recently commented about
Proxy-Connection not being stripped out by curl, Hyper may want to
also remove Proxy-Connection from the list for that reason:

Proxy-Connection is certainly required for h1 connections over proxy, I doubt h2 proxies require it but that's just me guessing.

Yea, it does seem hyper was a little aggressive here, motivated by an MDN article. Thanks for the fix!

The HTTP/2 spec does directly spell out SHOULD remove Proxy-Connection. I imagine proxies that have been updated to use h2 will have to have dealt with that. If we get reports of it being a problem, we can consider then.
