It is undocumented. While fixing a doc issue issue18229 for http.server I noticed that I referenced that function and when I looked up for the documentation, it was lacking.

See also Issue 23439, about updating __all__ (or not updating __all__, as it seems to be turning into)

Left a super minor comment in Rietveld, but otherwise LGTM.

Ignore my previous comment. It was intended for #23439.

And this really should likely now be closed as a duplicate of #23439.

This is a different issue than #23439. BaseHTTPRequestHandler.headers documentation mentions about parse_headers function, the function itself is not documented. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html#http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.headers

Not entirely sure what I was thinking here. I was under the impression that the docs for parse_headers had been added in the linked issue. Thanks for pointing that out.
