IIUC, this can be disabled by adding

enable-http-clone=0

to the config. I've added that, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
I don't know if config changes are supposed to take effect immediately,
or if some service is supposed to be restarted.

(That is also something that can be disabled in theory, but seems
useful, unlike the cloning thing.)
