HTTP headers and .NET 1.1 SP1

After installing .NET 1.1 SP1, HttpWebRequest will throw an exception when
connecting to servers that are using improperly formatted headers. Several
developer blogs have posted a workaround that requires inserting the
following
into the app.config file:

<system.net>
<settings>
<httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true" />
</settings>
</system.net>

However, this poses challenges for machines that do not have SP1 installed.

I have also seen code that enables this by using reflection to change
private fields on the HttpWebRequest class. Is there a programmatic way to
turn on unsafe header parsing without resorting to reflection?

Thanks for any assistance!
