[issue16037] httplib: header parsing is unlimited

[Cory Benfield]

Cory Benfield added the comment:

I presume Barry's disinclination to merge this to 2.6 with a new exception applies equally to 2.7, which is why this hasn't been merged to 2.7 yet?

I'm happy to review an updated 2.7 patch that raises an HTTPException if that's what we need to keep this moving.
