Client- headers in a HTTP request

Lately, I've been seeing headers such as:

Client-Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2010 15:20:02 GMT
Client-Peer: 64.64.64.64:80
Client-Response-Num: 1

On a apache 2 server with php 5.3.

What is the purpose / meaning of these headers, and where/when are they inserted into the response?

These HTTP headers are generated by libwww-perl - LWP::UserAgent (makes http requests / simulates web user agent) for debugging purposes and their meaning is exactly what their names imply.

Are you, by any chance, using HTTP::Proxy? If you turn on [client_headers]1 there, you get these headers.

They are non-standard http response headers and they can have any meaning.
