------- Additional Comments From olegk@apache.org  2005-01-11 13:37 -------
(1) There are tons of CGI scripts written people who have never read the HTTP
spec producing CR delimited headers (or even intermixing CR, LF and CRLF in one
damn request). Problematic sites are too numerous to be simply ignored.

There's no simple solution to this problem, as there's no one way to parse HTTP
packets that would work with all the broken sites out there. See Bug #25468 for
details.

(2) CR in cookie value violates the HTTP state management spec. See RFC 2109
section 4.1 and RFC 2616 section 2.2
