Patents?

RPC over HTTP is required to fit within HTTP standard operational
behaviour. If it were breaking protocol requirements, that would explain
why Squid, which does obey HTTP standards was "breaking" as an
RPC-over-HTTP relay.

FYI: The body content of the HTTP messages is the RPC protocol under
patent, possibly the method names themselves. Neither Squid nor Apache
when proxying have any reason to touch those details and thus are not
affected by any such patents (unless they are made to do so).
