>Description:
Sample session:

POST /cgi-bin/page HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 25

who=test&message=daklsjdasldjaskldalsHTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 21:43:11 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3a1
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

Content-Type: text/html

<head><title>Page sent</title>
</head><body><H1>Page sent.</H1></body>

The actual binary simply outputs the Content-type, a blank line, and the HTML.
If I don't include the content type header, the type is sent as text/plain,
but there is no duplicate header.
>How-To-Repeat:
The actual printf in the C source is

printf("Content-Type: text/html\n\n");

later on the HTML is printed.
