Code Review Request: 7154502: IAE: Illegal character(s) in message header field from HttpURLConnection.checkMessageHeader

[Kurchi Subhra Hazra]

Hi,

    Currently HttpURLConnection.setRequestProperty() does not
document that it can throw an IllegalArgumentException. However, this method does
throw an IAE if the key or value contains illegal characters. The same applies
for HttpURLConnection.addRequestProperty(), and this webrev tries to address this
issue.

Thanks,
