Because it knows what HTTP responses look like - a Status-Line, a  
bunch of {general,response,entity}-headers, a blank line, and a  
response body, with the latter terminated either by the byte count  
from the headers or by closing the connection - so it accumulates the  
contents of TCP segments until it's seen all of that.
