 Replying to [comment:10 rransom]:
 > According to the message which Tor's SOCKSPort emits when someone
 attempts to use it as an HTTP proxy/server, you need to send a larger
 response in order to ensure that Internet Explorer will display it.

 Looked at it. It helped me understand a lot of things.
 Also, used the same message, with a few modifications.

 > Now the control port will silently eat commands with certain names.  It
 should send a reply.

 like line isn't the first thing send on a connection.

 I misunderstood something the last time. Should be right now.

 > `strcasecmp` should be the wrong function.  Perhaps you want
 `strcasecmpstart`?

 Used a switch-case, like the "Tor is not an HTTP Proxy" code instead.
