+	<blockquote cite="http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20150108B.html">
+	  <p>When libcurl sends a request to a server via a HTTP proxy, it
+	    copies the entire URL into the request and sends if off.
+	    If the given URL contains line feeds and carriage returns those will
+	    be sent along to the proxy too, which allows the program to for
+	    example send a separate HTTP request injected embedded in the URL.
+	    Many programs allow some kind of external sources to set the URL or
+	    provide partial pieces for the URL to ask for, and if the URL as
+	    received from the user is not stripped good enough this flaw allows
+	    malicious users to do additional requests in a way that was not
+	    intended, or just to insert request headers into the request that
+	    the program didn't intend.
+	    We are not aware of any exploit of this flaw.</p>
