From b5c57ff772aff6cdee79206a2d53da6c638cbd13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Evan Lucas Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 07:02:31 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] http: check reason chars in writeHead Previously, the reason argument passed to ServerResponse#writeHead was not being properly validated. One could pass CRLFs which could lead to http response splitting. This commit changes the behavior to throw an error in the event any invalid characters are included in the reason.
