- Add support for external filters which allow to process the
response body with a script or program written in any language
the platform supports. External filters are enabled with
+external-filter{} after they have been defined in one of the
filter files with a header line starting with "EXTERNAL-FILTER:".
External filter support is experimental, not compiled by default
- and not expected to work on all platforms.
- - Add support for the 'PATCH' method as defined in RFC5789

- - Client 'Keep-Alive' headers are no longer forwarded.
- From a user's point of view it doesn't really matter,

- The files already used a subset of UTF-8 anyway and changing
- the declaration allows to properly display UTF-8 characters

This change may require existing action files with ISO-8859-1
characters that aren't valid UTF-8 to be converted to UTF-8.
Requested by Sam Chen in #582.
- Do not pass rejected keep-alive timeouts to the server. It might
not have caused any problems (we know of), but doing the right
thing shouldn't hurt either.
