             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpCore
    Affects Versions: 4.2-alpha1

            Priority: Minor


When I tried to get a page using HttpClient, I got the exception below, the url 
is "http://ss.97down.info/mimi/file.php/L87S8KD.html";.

Caused by: org.apache.http.ProtocolException: Invalid header: <meta 
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

The page can be displayed normally in IE and Chrome. I traced the source code 
of HttpCore, and find this line in BufferedHeader.java, 
 int colon = buffer.indexOf(':');
I found that except other normal headers, there was really an odd header, the 
value is :
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
The format is ugly, there is no colon in it, and caused an exception.

The orginal header the Chrome gets is like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:46:38 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.8
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Content-type: text/html

Yes, it's malformated, but Chrome parsed it as:

Connection:close
Content-type:text/html
Date:Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:46:38 GMT
Server:Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By:ASP.NET
PHP/5.2.8

I then and a snippet in the for loop of the parseHeaders method of the class 
AbstractMessageParser.java to ignore this type of error.
 if(current.indexOf(':')<=0){
                continue;
 }

It works for me, I hope someone can fix this problem.

Thanks!
