I objected to this code when it was first added (13 Aug 1996)
as part of Alexei's huge HTTP/1.1 patch and for some unknown
reason I forgot to remove it.

It has been featured in multiple PRs since then for both GNATS (4490)
and Bugzilla (PR 15242). Are there any objections to removing it now,
both here and in mod_cgid? It is currently preventing folks from
implementing new services (WEBDAV and Atom, among others) via CGI.
