Schelte,
I have made this modification in http. It was due to a client request, 
to ignore invalid http encoding methods. That is the only change.

So, a good changelog would be:

2022-05-04 (bug)[8eb64b] http package tolerant again invalid reply header

(what is the title of the ticket).

I don't want to make this change in fossil now, as Donald is in the 
release process.

Thank you, that you verified the changes file, I appreciate !
Harald

N.B.
After 8 month, the client reported to me, that this was due to a 
configuration error in SAP. But anyway, all web-servers behave like 
that, so it is a good change...
