Because they are asked to implement a proxy that maintains
header continuation line breaks when forwarding headers?


What for? If people want to do something completely bizarre, I do not see a point in going out of our way to help them

This patch adds an _unnecessary_ layer of complexity to a performance critical execution path and buys us absolutely nothing.

Plug in a parser that inserts line breaks instead of spaces
into the headers, and a header value parser that treats
line breaks as whitespace. A formatter that recognizes
line breaks is not needed if you use CRLF in the value.

Making minimal changes to passing data is hardly a far-fetched
requirement. There's also the variant "document everything
that gets changed", followed by a sequence of "is that really
necessary" discussions.

cheers,
