[issue16037] httplib: header parsing is not unlimited

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment:

As we discussed in other issues regarding the similar problem, I don't really want to introduce a new exception in a point release of 2.6.  Is there any reason not to just raise HTTPException with the error message text?  Code that has to work across multiple 2.6.X versions won't be able to import the new exception, and thus cannot rely on it anyway.

If you agree, I'll make that change when I apply this patch.
