New description:
A page refresh in IE7 (version number 7.0.6001) behind an ISP proxy in
Singapore has a header with a malformed line: "`Re, 1.2.3.4#015#012`"
where 1.2.3.4 is the client IP. This breaks the multiple assignment in
HTTPRequest.read_headers():
{{{
#!python
k, v = line.split(":", 1)
}}}
since it's trying to assign a list with one item to 2 variables. The
cryptic error is "ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack". My
solution is to enclose the problem code in a 'try' block and issue a
'continue' on failure.
