CVE-2020-15693

In Nim 1.2.4, the standard library httpClient is vulnerable to a CR-LF injection
in the target URL. An injection is possible if the attacker controls any part of
the URL provided in a call (such as httpClient.get or httpClient.post), the
User-Agent header value, or custom HTTP header names or values.
