Reviewer comments:
Let's be clearer about what it means to proxy here. Also, since it is the same text, talk about TLS assumptions more directly. This will interact poorly with . Sorry about that NAME
From Vienna chat. A proxy is not a generic HTTP intermediary, and therefore is not subject to the same rules.
From NAME Generic proxies would forward unknown HTTP headers between clients and targets. We should be very clear that oblivious proxies are not generic, and should not be doing things like forwarding unknown headers arbitrarily between client and target, or target and client.
requests. This includes the Via field, the Forwarded field {{?FORWARDED=RFC7239}}, and any similar information. A client does not depend on the proxy using an authenticated and encrypted connection to the oblivious request resource, only that information about the client not be attached to forwarded requests. Obviously, you need encryption on one or the other side of the proxy, right? Probably this document should require it on the inbound side, but I don't see the text that requires it. Did I just miss it?
Yeah, it's only necessary on the inbound side, per the analysis, though the document assumes it's on both sides.

request of the oblivious request resource that includes the same content.  When it receives a response, it sends a response to the client that includes the content of the response from the oblivious  <ins> request resource. When forwarding a request, the proxy MUST follow the forwarding rules in Section 7.6 of HTTP.  A generic HTTP intermediary implementation is suitable for the purposes of serving an oblivious proxy resource, but additional care is needed to ensure that client privacy is maintained. Firstly, a generic implementation will forward unknown fields.  For oblivious HTTP, a proxy SHOULD NOT forward unknown fields.  Though clients are not expected to include fields that might contain identifying information, removing unknown fields removes this privacy risk. Secondly, generic implementations are often configured to augment requests with information about the client, such as the Via field or the Forwarded field FORWARDED.  A proxy MUST NOT add information about the client identity when forwarding requests. </ins> A proxy can also generate responses, though it assumed to not be able to examine the content of a request (other than to observe the choice of key identifier, KDF, and AEAD), so it is also assumed that it cannot generate an encapsulated response.  7.2.1.
