Here are two patches the first implements the (1) and the second the (3).
The second patch does not look slower, but maybe we do not want to be
strict for many reasons. One reason is that this function used to
"Configurable SSL error details messages" patch, to parse the "descr:"
and "detail:" fields :-)
The other reason is that it is usual to find web clients or servers
which uses a simple "\n" instead of the "\r\n"...

The quoted string fields parsing done in squid3 using the
httpHeaderParseQuotedString function (HttpHeaderTools.cc file)
I found that we do not support multiline quoted string fields, but
according the rfc2616 multiline quoted string fields should supported:
quoted-string = ( <"> *(qdtext | quoted-pair ) <"> )
qdtext = <any TEXT except <">>
TEXT = <any OCTET except CTLs,
but including LWS>
LWS = [CRLF] 1*( SP | HT
I am planning to fix the httpHeaderParseQuotedString function, using one
of the following rules:
1) Just ignore any "\r" or "\n" character. This is the fastest and
simpler approach
3) Require "\r\n " or "\r\n\t" as line separator and just remove the
"\r\n"
3) Require "\r\n " or "\r\n\t" as line separator and replace it with a
space
4) Also support "\n\t" or "\n\n\t" as line separators.
(4) case #2 "\n\n\t" is also non-compliant.
Any comments or suggestions?
RFC states "A recipient MAY replace any linear white space with a single
SP".
So (1) and the second (3) {replace with 0x20} are the valid options.
It may be worth having two quoted-string parsers. One for each option.
The preference being (1) for its higher performance.
