The "Host:" header is required by HTTP/1.1, and is for differentiating
"between internally-ambiguous URLs, such as the root "/"
URL of a server for multiple host names on a single IP address,"
according to RFC 2616.
I agree that 2 new-lines should suffice. In fact, if I understand section
4.1 of the RFC, a CRLF is forbidden.

I find that I only need newline, not return characters:
GET /prueba.html HTTP/1.0\n\n
I've also found that some servers want a "Host:" header (I don't
think this is an HTTP convention), even though you're connected to a
specific host via the socket open:
GET /prueba.html HTTP/1.0\nHost:www.hostname.com\n\n
