  This error is only triggered when squid needs to generate an error page (for example backend node is not responding etc...)
  POC (request):
  -- cut --
  GET http://127.0.0.1:1/foo HTTP/1.1
  Accept-Language: ,
  -- cut --

  e.g : curl -H "Accept-Language: ," http://localhost:3129/

  Code:

    strHdrAcptLangGetItem is called with pos equals 0, therefore first branch
    in if (316 line) is taken, because xisspace(hdr[pos]) is false, then pos++
    is not executed (because hdr[0] is ','). In 335 line statement in while is
    also false because hdr[0] = ',', so whole loop body is omited. dt = lang,
    thus after assignment in 353 line *lang == '\0', so expression in if
    statement in 357 line is false. So next execution of while body (314 line),
    has got same preconditions as previous, thus it's infinite loop.

   312  bool strHdrAcptLangGetItem(const String &hdr, char *lang, int langLen, size_t &pos)
   313  {
   314      while (pos < hdr.size()) {
   315          char *dt = lang;

   318              while (pos < hdr.size() && xisspace(hdr[pos]))

   320          } else {
   321              // IFF we terminated the tag on whitespace or ';' we need to skip to the next ',' or end of header.
   322              while (pos < hdr.size() && hdr[pos] != ',')
   323                  ++pos;
