description = [[
Exploits the Max-Forwards HTTP header to detect the presence of reverse proxies.

The script works by sending HTTP requests with values of the Max-Forwards HTTP header varying
from 0 to 2 and checking for any anomalies in certain response values such as the status code,
Server, Content-Type and Content-Length HTTP headers and body values such as the html title.

Based on the work of:

* Julien Cayssol (tools@aqwz.com)
