[issue15799] httplib client and statusline

[karl]

karl added the comment:

Fair enough, it could be a warning when

* more than one space in between http version and status code
* if there is a missing space after the status code


I'm not advocating for being strict only. I'm advocating for giving the tools to developer to assess that things are right and choose or not to ignore and having to avoid to patch the libraries or rewrite modules when you create code which needs to be strict for specifically validating responses and requests. :)

ps: I haven't checked yet if the server counter part of httplib was strict in the production rule.
