--- Comment #3 from Hans Christian Woithe <chwoithe at yahoo.com> ---
Duplicate headers can be allowed in certain situations.  I tend to agree that
the location header probably doesn't qualify.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.2.2

A generic fix would involve a larger change on how headers are processed.  Such
a change should detect all duplicate headers that aren't allowed and return an
appropriate error to the user.  That could eliminate the need for the code
under scrutiny.
