 Just a tangential node:
 
  - if we always want to send all headers verbatim, it would be simpler to
    create a single malloc() for the whole header file and make sure it has
    no empty lines in it when reading, then just write it out in one
    call. Gets rid of the simpleque and the iterations.
 
  - if we consider doing value replacements later (not sure if that could
    be usefull and what values to offer in that context) it would be easier
    if we would parse the file into header and value pairs, unwrap continuation
    lines and have them in a struct with header/value pointer on the simpleque.
 
 Do other servers offer some kind of right-hand-side (value) string 
 substitutions for this?
