I looked at souces of httpd.
For what I understand, it seemds httpd store headers while reading
configuration, then inject them in every response.

To handle macros, some headers should be reevaluaed at each request, as
it's done for FastCGI.

I'm not confident enough and had found enough time to suggest a patch now.
Thank you for your king reply and your interest into this.
