 HTTP/1.1 Header Casing
 ======================
 
 When handling HTTP/1.1, Envoy will normalize the header keys to be all lowercase. While this is
 compliant with the HTTP/1.1 spec, in practice this can result in issues when migrating
 existing systems that might rely on specific header casing.
 
-To support these use cases, Envoy allows configuring a formatting scheme for the headers, which
-will have Envoy transform the header keys during serialization. To configure this formatting on
-response headers, specify the format in the :ref:`http_protocol_options <envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.http_protocol_options>`.
-To configure this for upstream request headers, specify the formatting in :ref:`http_protocol_options <envoy_v3_api_msg_extensions.upstreams.http.v3.HttpProtocolOptions>` in the Cluster's :ref:`extension_protocol_options<envoy_v3_api_field_config.cluster.v3.Cluster.typed_extension_protocol_options>`.
+To support these use cases, Envoy allows :ref:`configuring a formatting scheme for the headers
+<envoy_v3_api_field_config.core.v3.Http1ProtocolOptions.header_key_format>`, which will have Envoy
+transform the header keys during serialization.
+
+To configure this formatting on response headers, specify the format in the
+:ref:`http_protocol_options
+<envoy_v3_api_field_extensions.filters.network.http_connection_manager.v3.HttpConnectionManager.http_protocol_options>`.
+To configure this for upstream request headers, specify the formatting in
+:ref:`http_protocol_options <envoy_v3_api_msg_extensions.upstreams.http.v3.HttpProtocolOptions>` in
+the cluster's
+:ref:`extension_protocol_options<envoy_v3_api_field_config.cluster.v3.Cluster.typed_extension_protocol_options>`.
+
+Currently Envoy supports two different types of header key formatters:
+
+Stateless formatters
+--------------------
+
+Stateless formatters are run on encoding and do not depend on any previous knowledge of the headers.
+An example of this type of formatter is the :ref:`proper case words
+<envoy_v3_api_field_config.core.v3.Http1ProtocolOptions.HeaderKeyFormat.proper_case_words>`
+formatter. These formatters are useful when converting to non-HTTP/1 to HTTP/1 or when stateful
+formatting is not desired due to increases memory requirements.
+
+Stateful formatters
+-------------------
+
+Stateful formatters are instantiated on decoding, passed every decoded header, attached to the
+header map, and then available during encoding to format the headers prior to writing. Thus, they
+traverse the entire proxy stack. An example of this type of formatter is the :ref:`preserve case
+formatter
+<envoy_v3_api_msg_extensions.http.header_formatters.preserve_case.v3.PreserveCaseFormatterConfig>`
+configured via the :ref:`stateful_formatter
+<envoy_v3_api_field_config.core.v3.Http1ProtocolOptions.HeaderKeyFormat.stateful_formatter>` field.
+The following is an example configuration which will preserve HTTP/1 header case across the proxy.
 
-See :ref:`below <faq_configuration_timeouts_transport_socket>` for other connection timeouts.

@@ -138,6 +138,7 @@ New Features
 * http: added support for `Envoy::ScopeTrackedObject` for HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 dispatching. Crashes while inside the dispatching loop should dump debug information. Furthermore, HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 clients now dumps the originating request whose response from the upstream caused Envoy to crash.
 * http: added support for :ref:`preconnecting <envoy_v3_api_msg_config.cluster.v3.Cluster.PreconnectPolicy>`. Preconnecting is off by default, but recommended for clusters serving latency-sensitive traffic, especially if using HTTP/1.1.
 * http: added new runtime config `envoy.reloadable_features.check_unsupported_typed_per_filter_config`, the default value is true. When the value is true, envoy will reject virtual host-specific typed per filter config when the filter doesn't support it.
+* http: added the ability to preserve HTTP/1 header case across the proxy. See the :ref:`header casing <config_http_conn_man_header_casing>` documentation for more information.
 * http: change frame flood and abuse checks to the upstream HTTP/2 codec to ON by default. It can be disabled by setting the `envoy.reloadable_features.upstream_http2_flood_checks` runtime key to false.
 * json: introduced new JSON parser (https://github.com/nlohmann/json) to replace RapidJSON. The new parser is disabled by default. To test the new RapidJSON parser, enable the runtime feature `envoy.reloadable_features.remove_legacy_json`.
 * kill_request: :ref:`Kill Request <config_http_filters_kill_request>` Now supports bidirection killing.
