            Bug ID: 169599
           Summary: LF converted to CRLF when a form is submitted
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms

When a form is submitted, text from a textarea element that contains "LF" (\n) as line terminators, is transformed: LF is replaced with CRLF (\r\n). It can be extremely annoying when maxlength is specified for a textarea. Imagine that maxlength is set to 100. Text contains exactly 100 symbols and has 2 lines (\n as terminator). Browser checks for maxlength, finds that it is OK, submits the form. But the actual _submitted_ value contains \r\n as terminator, so it is 101 chars. Server-side validation rejects it. We observed the same behavior on Windows as well as on Linux.
