Here's a patch addressing the potential vulnerability as reported. The patch 
should also bring the implementation up to date with the most recent standards 
around header names and values.

I think I'm okay with this given line folding seems to have been implemented by 
passing multiple value parameters (folding was automatically taken care of by 
the library).

I don't think that this should be merged into anything pre 3.5 as safeguarding 
/should/ be accounted for by the developer, so I don't think I'd regard this as 
a high risk security issue. I'm definitely open to debate on that though.
