SECURITY UPDATE: content injection in http method (CVE-2019-3462)
This fixes a security issue that can be exploited to inject arbritrary debs or other files into a signed repository as followed: (1) Server sends a redirect to somewhere%0a<headers for the apt method> (where %0a is \n encoded) (2) apt method decodes the redirect (because the method encodes the URLs before sending them out), writting something like somewhere\n <headers> into its output (3) apt then uses the headers injected for validation purposes.
