Changelog
*Sourced from [waitress's changelog](https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/blob/master/CHANGES.txt).*
> 1.4.0 (2019-12-20)
> ------------------
>
> Bugfixes
> ~~~~~~~~
>
> - Waitress used to slam the door shut on HTTP pipelined requests without
> setting the ``Connection: close`` header as appropriate in the response. This
> is of course not very friendly. Waitress now explicitly sets the header when
> responding with an internally generated error such as 400 Bad Request or 500
> Internal Server Error to notify the remote client that it will be closing the
> connection after the response is sent.
>
> - Waitress no longer allows any spaces to exist between the header field-name
> and the colon. While waitress did not strip the space and thereby was not
> vulnerable to any potential header field-name confusion, it should have sent
> back a 400 Bad Request. See [Pylons/waitress#273](https://github-redirect.dependabot.com/Pylons/waitress/issues/273)
>
> Security Fixes
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
> - Waitress implemented a "MAY" part of the RFC7230
> (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.5) which states:
>
> Although the line terminator for the start-line and header fields is
> the sequence CRLF, a recipient MAY recognize a single LF as a line
> terminator and ignore any preceding CR.
>
> Unfortunately if a front-end server does not parse header fields with an LF
> the same way as it does those with a CRLF it can lead to the front-end and
> the back-end server parsing the same HTTP message in two different ways. This
> can lead to a potential for HTTP request smuggling/splitting whereby Waitress
> may see two requests while the front-end server only sees a single HTTP
> message.
>
> For more information I can highly recommend the blog post by ZeddYu Lu
> https://blog.zeddyu.info/2019/12/08/HTTP-Smuggling-en/
>
> - Waitress used to treat LF the same as CRLF in ``Transfer-Encoding: chunked``
> requests, while the maintainer doesn't believe this could lead to a security
> issue, this is no longer supported and all chunks are now validated to be
> properly framed with CRLF as required by RFC7230.
>
> - Waitress now validates that the ``Transfer-Encoding`` header contains only
> transfer codes that it is able to decode. At the moment that includes the
> only valid header value being ``chunked``.
>
> That means that if the following header is sent:
>
> ``Transfer-Encoding: gzip, chunked``
> ... (truncated)
