The acceptable range is an unsigned char or EOF. EOF is a value outside
the range of unsigned char, usually -1 and therefore the int prototype.
Same kind of value range as you may get from getchar/getch/fgetc.

This whole char / signed char / unsigned char mess is a quite
problematic spot of the C language. Nearly impossible to get signedness
correctly without a lot of headache..

It's not a problem. The related code (the HTTP parser optimizations) is
not planned to be merged into 2.6 at the moment.
