Alan M. Carroll created TS-4155:
-----------------------------------
Summary: HTTP header parse should error on LF field terminator.
Key: TS-4155
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4155
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HTTP
Reporter: Alan M. Carroll
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I think I understand why this was done but in my opinion that is obsolete and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.
