--- Comment #13 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Moving this to an enhancement. The bug is in the user agent, not Tomcat.

Given that:
- we have examples of broken clients that fail both with a space and without a
space
- both with a space and without a space a spec compliant

If we pick one option and hard-code it, experience tells us that it will break
for someone at some point. While we could simply respond "Fix the broken user
agent" I think Chris's idea is worth exploring.

Assuming the code is minimal, it should be doable for Tomcat 10. The bigger
question is whether the fix is considered safe enough for back-port.

I'll put together a patch and start a discussion on the dev list.
