Odd httpheader=1024 required for Phabricator

[Augie Fackler]

I guess I'm not sure what's going on here. https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/rev/5cda0ce05c42 is the revision that introduced that, but I'm not sure why you need to do anything /to phabricator/ unless it's trying (poorly) to pretend to be an hg server. Is it not just blindly proxying the hg protocol from your hg binary?

(We've seen problems with phabricator being too-clever-by-half in the past and breaking us...)
