CLRF vs LF strikes again. Partly at least.

I wonder why even have a max line length limit in the first place? I.e. is this for a technical reason or just display related?

I am just wondering how it is good idea for a sever to insert some characters into user's input. If a collegue were to propose this, i d laugh in his face

It's just sp hacky i cant belive it's a real life's solution

When you post a comment on HN, the server inserts HTML tags into your input. Isn't that essentially the same thing?

No, because there is a clear separation between the content and the envelop. You wouldnt expect the post office to open your physical letters and write routing instructions to the postmen for delivery

But I agree with sibling comment: it makes more sense when its called "encoding" instead of "inserting chars into original stream"
