[issue24363] httplib fails to handle semivalid HTTP headers

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I will try to review this in the not too distant future.  You can ping me if I don't get to it by next Saturday.

I think I'll probably prefer to call the flag something like _greedy_header_parsing, to reflect a change from assuming we've got body on a non-header-like line to assuming we've still got header if we haven't seen a blank line yet.  What we call the private version of the flag doesn't matter all that much, though.
