[Bug 26083] Re: 'Bad header line' error when trying to use apt

[statistic]

This bug is still an issue for normal use cases, the 360 character limit
is causing issues with some repositories. This thread gave me a way to
work around it though using that debug parameter you listed showed me
which request and header was the problem. In the end I ran my requests
through a varnish server stripping cookies out of the response.  Maybe
ignore cookie headers since they seem to be the offending header line,
and probably will be the only one that is. Better solution would
probably to raise the maximum length allowed. I've attached the relevant
log that shows the problem.
