Just FYI, but including CR ('\r') would be technically more accurate,
as HTTP (and the majority of text based IETF network protocols) define
CRLF as the official line terminator (except for individual entity
blocks which can have locally defined terminators).

But most client implementations will be written to just look for the
LF ('\n') and strip any trailing CR or LF.
