I had a situation where webdriver client failed with a BadStatusLine failure. After a bit of investigation the problem was that a command missed the starting '/' in the path to indicate an absolute path. Fixing that makes the command work.

Here an example:

> def test_null_parameter_value(session, http):
>     path = "session/{session_id}/frame".format(**vars(session))
>     with http.post(path, None) as response:
>         assert_error(Response.from_http(response), "invalid argument")

Using `/session/{session_id}/frame` makes it work.

I have no idea why the following code can fail given that the path is evaluated after the body has been read:
