    incomplete RFC7230 HTTP request grammar enforcing
    - debian/patches/CVE-2016-8743.patch: enfore stricter parsing in
      include/http_core.h, include/http_protocol.h, include/httpd.h,
      modules/http/http_filters.c, server/core.c, server/gen_test_char.c,
      server/protocol.c, server/util.c, server/vhost.c.

  * WARNING: The fix for CVE-2016-8743 introduces a behavioural change and
    may introduce compatibility issues with clients that do not strictly
    follow specifications. A new configuration directive,
    "HttpProtocolOptions Unsafe" can be used to re-enable some of the less
    strict parsing restrictions, at the expense of security.
