Strictly according to the protocol that should be "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" or some
other string including a version.

At the moment the browser has the HTTP headers winging their way towards it,
with no terminating blank line. What are you expecting to receive? Since the
browser won't close the socket either (it's still waiting for the
termination of the headers) it won't close its end of the socket either, so
your program stops here. Only for an hour or two while the connection times
out, though 8-)
