[Simpletest-support] 401 + trailing \r on url => "Could not split headers from content" FAIL message

[Christoph B. <ber...@ne...>]

Hi -

I found an failing case for the WebTestCase get method.

Class Odd401Test Extends WebTestCase

function test401()
{
     $this->get("http://domain.com/pageRequiringHTTPAuth\r")
}


generates this "fail" message:
"Could not split headers from content"
Note also that the FAIL doesn't point to any particular line number in the
php test file.

Two things seem to be necessary:

   1. the url requires HTTP authentication
   2. the url ends in a trailing "\r" (carriage return)

I'm running 1.1alpha3 and finding odd behavior. In my case, trimming the
URL solved the problem, but it took a bit of forensics to get there.
