And here attached is the first part of a telnet connection.

The first few lines are telnet stuff.  Then is the two lines I sent: the 
GET and Host lines.  Then a blank line, then the reply.  The "offending" 
line is the 1f80 one.  This is seemingly not part of the header because 
it's after the "empty" line signifying the end of the header.  But if 
you look at this page in a browser 
(http://meta.freeciv.org/metaserver.phtml?client_cap=+2.0%20conn_ping_info%20username_info%20new_hack)
 
you won't see this line.  So the browser thinks it is part of the header.

Do we do manual parsing of the HTTP response?  If so, we shouldn't.  We 
should use an HTTP library like ghttp.
