 - Squid did,on recent releases and now offers the squid admin.
various choices :

# TAG: relaxed_header_parser on|off|warn
# In the default "on" setting Squid accepts certain forms
# of non-compliant HTTP messages where it is unambiguous
# what the sending application intended even if the message
# is not correctly formatted. The messages is then normalized
# to the correct form when forwarded by Squid.
#
# If set to "warn" then a warning will be emitted in cache.log
# each time such HTTP error is encountered.
#
# If set to "off" then such HTTP errors will cause the request
# or response to be rejected.
