[issue26686] email.parser stops parsing headers too soon.

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Also see Issue 24363, basically the same bug in the HTTP parser, which (ab?)uses the email package to do most of the work. In that case, according to my note the faulty header field ends with:

X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN\r\n
Set-Cookie: mb-CookieP=; HttpOnly; \r\n
Secure\r\n
Set-Cookie: mb-CookieP=; HttpOnly; Secure\r\n
\r\n

But in this case, perhaps because of the implications of dropping the “Secure” flag, people are asking that the faulty line be appended to the previous header field. IMO I don’t think that is super important though. An alternative would be to add it to the defect list, and then raise an exception or warning if any defects are detected.
