Yeah, httpd is riddled with request smuggling bugs. relayd is also
really bad. I reported a lot of these things about a year ago, and
most of it wasn't patched. I figured that if I'm the only person who
cares about this, I should write the patch (and I haven't), so I guess
it's on me :)

These servers should not be used to serve requests containing bodies.
httpd has a much worse bug right now, which is that any POST request
that gets handled by FastCGI will have its body echoed before the
response. Afaik this wasn't fixed either, because it couldn't be
decided whether it's better to remove support for FastCGI-handled
requests for bodies, or fix the bug.
