According to the HTTP specification (RFC2616), headers are terminated
with CR-LF. The body content (the HTML) is not covered by the HTTP
protocol specification.

> $ cr[ 0, 8 ] = 13
> $ open/read in data.txt
> $loop: read/end_of_file=end in record
> $ ! header records have a carriage-return appended, so strip it (if necessary)
> $ record = f$element ( 0, cr, record )
> $ ! do whatever with record, now
> $ goto loop
> $end: close in

> Is this expected behavior, or a bug which is fixed with a newer version?
