Hi,
There are no "real" HTTP servers that require this, as evidenced by
the fact that none of the popular HTTP clients does this, just have a
look at curl source code or the http library of your favourite
programming language. Frankly, this is broken so obviously I feel
stupid further discussing it.
Cheers,
