I just made the minimal change needed to get this embedded web server
we have working. The server only looks at the first line of the
header, it expects to find \r\n at the end of the line.

The dialog box might be the only way to make everyone happy.

You might also want to auto-detect if the proxy is broken
(does not take \r\n) but going to some known site before
the very first request.

I will be fine with my own local hack. I just need to get
this working for a demo. If anyone is going to ESCW
next month, be sure to stop by the Red Hat booth to see
the "embedded D.J." demo I am putting together (It features
freeamp of course).
