A single space in the first case; about a dozen in the second.

The issue isn't length, but the handling of header lines.  The
headers are terminated by <CRLF><CRLF>, so a line with a space
doesn't terminate the headers; but a header line starting with white
space is a continuation of the previous line.  So it seems that the
code is looking past the white space for the real continuation for
the previous line, but getting confused because there isn't any.
