invalid URLs are reported as 505 HTTP Version Not Supported

[agenteo]

I had a few malformed URLs containing markup left from a crawling an HTML page. This is definitely user mistake but vegeta was reporting those as 505 (505 HTTP Version Not Supported
The server does not support the HTTP protocol version used in the request.)

What do you think about flag and ignore invalid URLs?

Example URL causing problem:

GET valid_url" class="accordion-toggle-sub"

I don't think ignoring errors is a good practice in general.

Agreed but I think returning a 505 (HTTP Version Not Supported) isn't the most informative error and when it appeared in my load test it made me wonder for a while what was wrong.

Anyways today from home (using the binary) I was unable to reproduce this, when I tried:

GET http://example.com/?terms=6e4c7aff-f80b-42be-aaa1-3cd876ab3d87&nav-item=Planning%20101" class="accordion-toggle-sub"

I got a 400 Bad Request which is what you'd expect. It's weird I didn't get the same behaviour when running the load test with malformed URL from my work laptop.

If I can't reproduce it back there I'll close this down.

@agenteo: Did you manage to reproduce the bug?

[agenteo]

Nope. But thanks for following up.
