Hmmm.... This is looking familiar.... .I once saw this type of header
replacement on an http operation. It turned out to be due to something that
a piece of security software I had installed was trying to do to "help" me.
I don't recall exactly which package it was since I was trying several, and
I don't recall if I had to completely uninstall or merely disable the
function to get it to stop "helping" me. It might have been Symantec Client
Security, which was one that I tried, but if one product does this type of
thing, others might as well.....
