The design is perfectly all right, but the implementation on the
server side is
lacking. Just add a "Content-Length: 0" Header, implement chunked transfer-
encoding or use HTTP/1.0 with "Connection: close" and actually close the
connection after the headers have been transferred. If you fix the server,
you won't have to work around those problems with all possible clients.
