Or to improve it slightly you could do a find loop on the characters you 
have to convert [LF for Unix], work out how many characters you're going 
to have to add, give the contentlength, send the headers, and then use 
the cached list of LF positions to send strings + inserted characters

Now that would have been easier to say in Python...
