Github user rainerjung commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tomcat/pull/115 @michael-o IMHO because an invalid header value will push most parsing code to the error handling code path. And only by additional rules should that code handle it like a valid header in the past. Your chances of client software compatibility are higher than by sending an invalid value. This of course is not an especially strong argument. I simply wanted to provide a real-world example, where it currently does make a difference.
