There's no such thing as HTTP with "non HTTP header data". Either you have
HTTP and then the headers are just HTTP headers, or you do something that
isn't HTTP anymore and then yes, it isn't HTTP!
To be clear: HTTP allows just about any header to be sent as long as it
conforms to the syntax rules. You can make up your own perfectly well and
still be HTTP compliant.
