parse_options_header trimmed parameter names and values with strip(), rstrip() and lstrip() without arguments. Those remove all Unicode whitespace, and because the header is decoded as latin-1, the bytes 0xA0 and 0x85 count as whitespace too. Whitespace around a header parameter is only a space or a tab (RFC 9110 §5.6.3).

Header	Before	After
form-data; name=voil\xc3\xa0	name is voil\xc3	name is voil\xc3\xa0
form-data; name="a";\xa0filename="a.txt"	Has filename	\xa0filename isn't filename, so the part is a field
multipart/form-data; boundary=XX\xa0	Boundary is XX	Boundary is XX\xa0

Spaces and tabs are still trimmed, and quoted values are unchanged.
