           Summary: [CURL] Allow \n as line terminator for headers
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: marco.barisione at collabora.co.uk


The curl back-end allows only CRLF as line terminator for the headers, causing
troubles with some web pages like
http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/69de/

>From the HTTP standard:
   The line terminator for message-header fields is the sequence CRLF.
   However, we recommend that applications, when parsing such headers,
   recognize a single LF as a line terminator and ignore the leading CR

I will write a patch ASAP.
