Replying to [comment:3 claudep]:
> If browsers would systematically return CRLF, you would be right. But
this isn't always true, so the situation is already inconsistent and
somewhat broken.
I didn't explain it well, but my reasoning was:
- regular requests always use CRLF: if we normalize to CRLF, we're
backwards compatible, if we normalize to LF, we aren't.
- AJAX requests are browser dependent: no matter which way we normalize,
it will have side effects for some people.
In my opinion this is a basic browser interoperability issue that is
better left to browser developers / W3C / etc.; but if you're keen on
fixing it in Django that's just fine.
