.. section: Security

Due to significant security concerns, the *reuse_address* parameter of
:meth:`asyncio.loop.create_datagram_endpoint` is no longer supported. This
is because of the behavior of ``SO_REUSEADDR`` in UDP. For more details, see
the documentation for ``loop.create_datagram_endpoint()``. (Contributed by
Kyle Stanley, Antoine Pitrou, and Yury Selivanov in :issue:`37228`.)

.. nonce: -7yvZR
.. section: Library

Allow the rare code that wants to send invalid http requests from the
`http.client` library a way to do so.  The fixes for bpo-30458 led to
breakage for some projects that were relying on this ability to test their
own behavior in the face of bad requests.
