RFC7230 section 3.2.6 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.2.6 ) 
defines a HTTP header field as:

     header-field   = field-name ":" OWS field-value OWS
     field-name     = token
and
     token          = 1*tchar
     tchar          = "!" / "#" / "$" / "%" / "&" / "'" / "*"
                    / "+" / "-" / "." / "^" / "_" / "`" / "|" / "~"
                    / DIGIT / ALPHA
                    ; any VCHAR, except delimiters




I believe Apache 2.2.32 fails to comply with the above definition for a single 
character request header. Apache 2.4.25 on the other hand accepts these 
requests just fine.

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: dw00043.dweb.intranet.db.com
t: testalpha

------------------------------------------------
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: dw00043.dweb.intranet.db.com
0: testnum

Is this a bug, and is there a chance of fixing it in 2.2.32 ?
