Patch

Please add a regression test.

I agree with AP. It would be great if you could add a test or maybe you can find that there exists a test already that we are skipping and that can be unskipped with your patch. I suspect it would be somewhere in LayoutTests/http.

Adding test coverage would be a great way to complete Kimmo's original work.

Additional testing reveals the issue has been resolved on a different level in trunk. This patch in platform is no longer necessary
