+    * vlad/topic/vladg/http-verbs:
+      A test for HTTP methods, including some horribly illegal requests.
+      Remove hardcoded HTTP verbs from the analyzer (#741)
+
+    I added a "bad_HTTP_request" weird for HTTP request lines that don't
+    have more than a single word.
+
+    Closes #741. (Robin Sommer)
