--- Comment #17 from Greg Turnquist <greg.l.turnqu...@gmail.com> ---
I tend to lean towards security experts (like OWASP) that indicate it's
preferable to reduce information leakage, rather than simply asserting there is
no real world risk here.

The rest of the industry has headed towards reducing information leakage (see
Jetty, Undertow, etc.) While "everyone else is doing it" isn't an argument,
observing an industry migration that is backed up by cited security experts IS
an argument in favor of such a change.

On a personal note, it's interesting that we're not concerned about 27 bytes
because it's nothing, but some ARE concerned about the cycles spent to generate
those 27 bytes. I don't think resource consumption is the focal point of this
request, being premature optimization. I would favor upholding RFCs behind
servlets as well as HTTP headers alongside industry-driven security
recommendations, and save optimization only for AFTER that has been met.
