Was the out-of-memory denial of service attack fixed?

Looking at the code, it looks like I can still keep adding headers
until the machine exhausts memory

     def headerReceived(self, line):
         """Do pre-processing (for content-length) and store this header  
away.
         """
         header, data = line.split(':', 1)
         header = header.lower()
         data = data.strip()
         if header == 'content-length':
             self.length = int(data)
         self.requests[-1].received_headers[header] = data
