Message8218

For the record, test_request_line_trimming fails as follows. The essence of the test is to insert an extra \n at the end of a GET request line. The request is syntactically invalid. The \n\r\n appears like two blank lines, implying no headers, but the headers then follow where no data should be. The server is supposed to respond with status 501, because it does not, in fact, define a GET operation.

Windows "corrects" the \n to \r\n, which is ok, but it holds back the unexpected data (displaced headers). When the server returns a 501 response and closes the connection, the client now in getresponse() appears not to get the response, before it errors on the closure.

If the following trace, I replaced BaseHTTPRequestHandler, with a version that has lots of extra logging:
