Add more flexibility when parsing the headers

Any number of whitespace characters are accepted after ":"
when parsing HTTP headers.
Create a test function (Add test_parse_header_whitespace).
This test addresses parsing header and allow no space and
any amount of linear white space after ":". And modified
CHANGELOG.md.
