[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH]Add one CRLF to http headers if necessary

I was about to reply "locally added", but no, because it does not fix that
ticket.

Re-thinking on the whole discussion, I withdraw this patch, it is wrong. This
part of the code is an API, not an UI, so it is better if it is strict. I
will try to propose another patch for pure validation.

Regarding the trac ticket itself, I wrote this, and I stick to it:

# I am not in favour of fixing the shortcomings of the user's shell in
# FFmpeg's libraries

# If we are talking about end-user interface, the changes should happen in
# cmdutils.c.

In other words, I vote for closing #3268 as WONTFIX and suggesting windows
users to use a better shell (maybe the so-called powershell introduced in
the recent windows versions can do it).

If people really want to fix microsoft's shortcomings in FFmpeg, then it
must happen in the UI, not the API, i.e. in cmdutils.c. Maybe something like
that: "ffmpeg ... -expand -headers 'Cookies: chocolate\r\n'" (-expand being
a new option meaning "perform escape-character expansion on the following
option argument"). But I do not intend to work on it, because anybody can
get a shell where $'\r\n' works.

Regards,
