I am using libcurl for client only but in application there is need if
server wants to start communication by requesting to the client using GET.
so i just want to send HTTP1.1 200 OK header with no data and then normal
client side communication will happen.

For this one response only, including complete server library seems to be
not good choice for my embedded apps.
