[New-bugs-announce] [issue35565] Add detail to an assertion failure message in wsgiref

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com>:

On line 236 in Lib/wsgiref/handlers.py, we get the assertion message, "Hop-by-hop headers not allowed".   

That message should should show the *name* and *value* that triggered the failure.  Otherwise, it is difficult to know which header caused the problem (in my case, it was Connection: close).
