Hi Noah,

Looks like I reviewed a slightly older version earlier.  Could you
merge the reviewes/changes for both version in a new version of this
patch?

Same comment as earlier, but now please also state the debuginfod
changes itself (the extra headers added).

I think an actual output example is better than including "place
holder text".

So the changes compared to the other one are just in the
debuginfod.cxx file.

This looks good. But I wonder if, since these are headers specific to
debuginfod, they shouldn't be named X-DEBUGINFOD-... Just to make sure
they don't clash with any others a proxy might insert.

Probably should mention that the file name is unescaped (not url
encoded). The last sentence has too many "the". I think a word is
missing between the last two.

I have again not reviewed the testcase yet.
