Bill was absolutely correct about the empty bodies for 204 replies
being OK.

I was talking about HTTP headers, not HTML bodies. The standard
(HTTP_1.0: RFC 1945, HTTP_1.1: RFC 2616) is very clear that CRLFs
not just LFs should be used for HTTP headers. Yes, most browsers
will accept either, but that's no excuse. Postel's Law applies:
"be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from
others." JHS should be corrected.
