> HTTP header parse should error on LF field terminator.

> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP

>
> If an HTTP request header terminates one of the fields with just a line feed
> ATS will parse it as if the header terminated at the end of the previous
> line. I think I understand why this was done but in my opinion that is
> obsolete and ATS should instead generate a parse error. Such a request in my
> reading clearly violates the HTTP specification and should therefore generate
> a parse error. Another option is to treat the line feed as a proper line
> terminator which, while I think would be better than the current behavior
> would still be wrong. General usage has advanced sufficiently that ATS should
> require properly formatted request headers.
