An embedded CR probably shouldn't happen, but I'm not convinced that folding it out is a good idea. I would think that you'd want to preserve the header's value verbatim. If anything, I'd expect to see the regex tightened to: s/\r?\n$//; Alternately, consider using 'chop' or 'chomp'. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
