net/http: accept * as URI in request parser

[anacrolix]

Before filing a bug, please check whether it has been fixed since the
latest release. Search the issue tracker and check that you're running the
latest version of Go:

Run "go version" and compare against
http://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html  If a newer version of Go exists,
install it and retry what you did to reproduce the problem.

Thanks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org.
1. Parse a HTTP request with an unusual URL, such as SSDP notification.
2. Parsing fails because the rawurl is "*"

What is the expected output?
The request URL should be set to nil, and "*" be present in
http.Request.RequestURI.


What do you see instead?
A parse error.

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')
go1

Please provide any additional information below.
I can provide a patch.

Comment 4:

I think the Students for Sensible Drug Policy can make their own package.  The HTTP
package shouldn't be expected to speak every protocol.
But if this bug is just about accepting "*", that's more reasonable, because that
appears in HTTP.
