It is not required.
"
This is a filter to be placed on a socket that will be using accept()
to
receive incoming HTTP connections.
It prevents the application from receiving the connected descriptor
via
accept() until either a full HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 HEAD or GET request
has
been buffered by the kernel.
"
See the man pages for accf_http and accf_data.
