Go and failing to parse http headers correctly should become a meme at some point.

One issue we had was the reverse proxy inserting headers about the origin of the request to the server behind. Like ip, ip city lookup etc. And that parsed through a service written in go that just crashed whenever the city had a Norwegians letter in it, took ages to understand why some of our (luckily only internal) services didn't work for coworkers working from Røros for instance. And that was again not the fault of the Go software, but how the stdlib handled it.
