If I recall correctly this feature adds the Max-Forwards header and decrements it every time it goes through the proxy. If the value is 0 then it does not forward.
It is used as protection in situations where you may have Proxy A forwarding to Proxy B who forwards to Proxy A.
If you don't have multiple proxies or if you take responsibility to make sure there are never any loops you can disable it.
