Comment 5 for bug 974319

Okay according to termie in this review:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/8455/

this is going to be a wontfix :

probably not worth the trouble of breaking some random old client out there for what is essentially a non-useful fix: httplib's client misinterprets the status after it sends a horrifically deformed request and the server interprets it as http/0.9
i say we tell people who are sending horrifically deformed requests that they are wrong and should be quiet

so somebody with the right rights can please close this bug as WONTFIX.
