    initial v1  
    11Replying to [comment:3 claudep]:
    22> If browsers would systematically return CRLF, you would be right. But this isn't always true, so the situation is already inconsistent and somewhat broken.

    44I didn't explain it well, but my reasoning was:
    5 - regular requests always use CRLF: if we normalize to CRLF, we're backwards compatible, if we normalize to LF, we aren't.
     5- regular requests always use CRLF: if we normalize to CRLF; we're backwards compatible, if we normalize to LF, we aren't.
    66- AJAX requests are browser dependent: no matter which way we normalize, it will have side effects for some people.

     8Although LF is the preferred line ending on Linux and Unix, it isn't "better" or "more correct". For instance HTTP and SMTP use CRLF everywhere.

    810In my opinion this is a basic browser interoperability issue that is better left to browser developers / W3C / etc.; but if you're keen on fixing it in Django that's just fine.
