Hi @christian.heimes,
Thank you for your research too. We've also discovered that this check is correct, but this check is very strict and blocking (error raised, stopping the connection), we should maybe be more "laxist" and allow the  lowercase version ? As they do in the others libs ? I've nerver encountered this error with urllib for instance. 

The server that answered this HTTP response line is a clone of the "spip" framework used in many websites. This is clearly a human behavior, but this http.client error could be a bit more "intelligent" I guess.
