* src/ne_request.c (ne_begin_request): Ignore the "identity"
transfer-coding since "privoxy" apparently sends it. Fail for unknown
transfer-codings.
* test/request.c (te_identity): New test, replacing any_te_header.
(fail_on_invalid): Test for failure with unknown transfer-codings.
* doc/using.xml: Update section on transfer-encoding interpretation.
