   Of course, some instances of these status codes would be "ok" to recover 
from, but Mark is actually right: it is not going to be deterministic.
   Also it is not possible to add "defensive" code since starting to decode 
random bytes in a random location will allow request smuggling (a proxy and 
Tomcat have to both "see" the same HTTP requests coming in and process them the 
same way). If you are using Tomcat without proxying of any kind (that happens 
very often, right ?), then it is less dangerous although there is some DoS 
potential on HTTP header parsing errors.
