The fix for that is very invasive and may well break some things. I would wait
with a backport until the fix has seen more exposure, both upstream and in
stretch (the fix will migrate from sid in a few days).
Also, there is some work upstream to get the changes backported to 2.2 in a
separate 2.2.x-merge-http-strict branch [1]. But it has not landed in the
2.2.x branch, yet.
I will share with you any insights I get from backporting the changes to
jessie. But it is somewhat unlikely that I will have time to do the backport
to wheezy myself.
Cheers,
Stefan
