Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you.  I don't like the idea of disobeying
protocols to comminicate with buggy clients or servers, generally.

However, I'm also concerned about users, and people are inclined to see this
as a bug in Polipo, and perhaps not use it as a result.

Nonetheless, my Principle of Least Action[1] tells me to leave the bug as it
is and patch with a backport, when that's available.

Cheers,

Tom
