No, I think you're right... RFCs usually advocate a "be lenient in what
you accept, and strict in what you send" policy.  That's the way to
maximise interoperability, and I think it's sound advice.

On the other hand, I'm not familiar enough with twisted.protocols.http
to say how easy it is to fix this :)
