NVD: In versions before 3.0.2, when the header contains two or more comma separated entries, the parser trims only space characters and does not strip horizontal tabs, even though RFC 7230 defines optional whitespace as both space and tab. NVD: As a result, an entry padded with a tab keeps the literal tab in the resolved address string."
