This is what RFC 9113, 8.2.1. Field Validity, says about header field
validation:
A request or response that contains a field that violates
any of these conditions MUST be treated as malformed (Section 8.1.1).
Also (the previous RFC 7540 did not have this statement):
When a request message violates one of these requirements, an implementation
SHOULD generate a 400 (Bad Request) status code (see Section 15.5.1 of [HTTP])
Considering this, responding with HTTP 400 is certainly an improvement compared
to the current code. Also, it allows to set a custom error page handler.
However, not resetting the stream as before is a less obvious change. If we
consider nginx an intermediary, the RFC 9113 prescribes us to send stream reset:
Intermediaries that process HTTP requests or responses (i.e., any
intermediary not acting as a tunnel) MUST NOT forward a malformed
request or response. Malformed requests or responses that are detected
MUST be treated as a stream error (Section 5.4.2) of type PROTOCOL_ERROR.
This restriction probably makes sense for the intermediaries unable to handle
the error in a more flexible way.
I like the change, but I'd like to hear what you think about the reset issue.
