I don't know whether you are old enough to remember Johnny Carson,
but, to use his words, you are wrong, oh, Krispy One.
You seem to have corrupted an essential part of what I presume you
wanted:
(.*\<)?
which means zero or one of (anything followed by an intra-word-type
character [including line ends]).
It is superior because there is no RFC requirement for a space between
a header line and the data that follows.
Without the ?, yours is no better than ".*\<" without parens, and
does not offer the advantage discussed.
