error encountered in the wild

[mwotton]

Not exactly sure what's going on here - the website appears perfectly cromulent.

[mwotton]

i certainly can't see any reason it should crash the process

Well your assertEqual has the wrong argument order. I assume that's not why you wrote this though.

[mwotton]

Right, it us there because it throws an exception

@mwotton Incidentally, I can't merge this pull request as it stands; the test suite doesn't pull from external sites (can't do that from build machines!).

So I've duplicated this. I'd imagine this web server is doing something non compliant in its response headers, but attoparsec is awful at giving you error messages. I had a branch once that tried to plumb (<?>) through the parser code, but it didn't help; our code tends to fail within takeBytes or similar, but that happens when the server is misbehaving. I suppose I should try again.

P.S. People here want to know what on earth you @mwotton was doing going to the shady website in question :)

[mwotton]

Yeah, not expecting you to merge it - just an easy way of packaging up the
awful:)

I work at meanpath.com, remember? We connect to 160 million sites a day, there's got to be some shady sites in there :)
