[squid-users] What squid should do with RFC non-compliant response header?

Hi List,

I noticed that there are broken services out-there which uses non RFC
compliance response header such as the case of space, for  example:
"Content Type:  hola amigos"

Compared to: 
"Content-Type: Hola amigos"

Leaving aside if the content type is valid and is indeed  mime one and
looking only at the header name.
Should squid pass such a header or deny it?
What is expected from squid?
Should squid continue to handle the request or report an error?


Thanks,
Eliezer
