Hi Charles,

TBH, I don't understand the relevant code in http.c nearly as well as
I'd like. It's not one flag to turn it off, but several various checks
at different points, I believe. My current goal for the 1.12 codebase is
to get this area cleaned up to the point that I can navigate it with
less trouble than I currently must. :)

I'll investigate the regression; however, I can't promise to fix it for
1.11.1.
