What standard test case?   Do you mean the perl httpd test suite?  If so, we
better ask somebody who understands it (i.e., not me). 

Here's what I fed into netcat to recreate/test this:

----------------------------
GET /builds/jakarta-tomcat/release/v3.1.1/bin/ HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0
 (compatible;
 MSIE 5.5;
 Windows NT 5.0)
Host: jakarta.replay

----------------------------

...with a blank line on the end.  This one just tests continuation lines
beginning with blanks.  It would be better to test both blanks and tabs.

I have a similar test case that tests partial lines (no LF on the end) as well. 
But that one is trickier for a couple of reasons:  you need a test client that
can send partial lines (I use Jeff's interactive socket tool), and you may have
to work around the Nagle algorithm, which likes to combine small packets.
