We are talking about HTTP, take a look at the HTTP response in version 1.1:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec6.html#sec6

As you may see you separate the header of a response from the body by an
empty line, generated with CRLF.
Since one CRLF ends the line inside the header you need two of them.
