This is my first LLHTTP PR, but I think most of the implementation is relatively clear hopefully.
Naming is hard here, since this clearly fits within the 'lenient' flags, but by design it is fully distinct from the other lenient flags that are all part of Node's insecure mode. I've gone with just treating it as a new type of lenient flag (
