Legacy helper responses start with a URL instead of OK rewrite_url=...
and such. 2016 commit ddc77a2 introduced two bugs when handling legacy
responses:

  • Response parsing code triggered MemBuf assertions when 0-terminating
    the parsing buffer for certain URLs. The bug affected legacy helper
    responses with and without space characters.

  • Squid code attempted to accept/use helper-returned URLs with embedded
    space character(s), despite a WARNING implying that the post-space
    characters are not going to become a part of the new URL.


This change resurrects recent commit bb854bb that was accidentally
reverted by commit ec328cf during pull request merging by Anubis.

⚠️ Until the staging bug is fixed, please do not clear more than one concurrent PR for merging and do not clear any master PR that is based on a stale master branch (i.e. merge the latest master into PR branch before clearing that PR).

FWIW, I looked through master commits cbbe8d3..562f2ef and did not find any other problematic commits. Hopefully, @eduard-bagdasaryan's investigation confirms that this is a very recent problem.

This would not happen if we used a proper merge queue instead of a separate auto branch pushed over top of master by an external tool.

Also, please report to the board how this bug got into Anubis in the first place?
The entire purpose of the bot is to test changes on the relevant branch HEAD before a change is committed. That is a serial operation, it MUST NOT be parallelized, nor old HEAD allowed to be used as base.
