This has nothing to do with Windows vs. unix, the HTTP standard defines 
CRLF as the only valid EOL marker for everything except the body.


>From RFC-2616 "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1":

| 2.2 Basic Rules
| 
| [...]
|    HTTP/1.1 defines the sequence CR LF as the end-of-line marker for all
|    protocol elements except the entity-body (see appendix 19.3 for
|    tolerant applications). The end-of-line marker within an entity-body
|    is defined by its associated media type, as described in section 3.7.

Appendix 19.3 recommends tolerance for broken applications that send only 
LF as EOF-marker.
