Hmm...that's not what I'm seeing. I added this function to
test/beast/http/fields.cpp:

    void
    testValue()
    {
        request<empty_body> req;
        req.insert(field::location, "http://www.google.fr/");
        auto it = req.find(field::location);
        if(it != req.end())
            log << "[" << it->value() << "]";
    }

The output is:

    beast.http.fields
    [http://www.google.fr/]25.6s, 1 suite, 1 case, 334 tests total, 0 failures
    The program '[0x6BF4] tests-beast-http.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

If the CRLF was being included in the value, then none of these tests
would pass, as the equalities would evaluate to false:
