Comment:

 I think we want to send back an HTTP response, not a raw string, right?

 We don't want to do this unless the GET/POST/CONNECT/DELETE/whatever comes
 as the first thing on the control port; I think this patch might make a
 GET/POST/CONNECT get treated as HTTP at any point on the control port.

 Connection_mark_and_flush() seems right here; we don't want to close the
 connection until it is done flushing.

 We usually write multiline strings as "a string on one line\n"
  "followed by a string on another line\n".

 Let's try to get something like this into 0.2.4.x?
