        You're sending an HTTP/0.9 request.  It worked when I tried
it via Scott's SPARC (SunOS 5.4), but not via other systems.  However,
an HTTP/1.0 request appears to work reliably:

        GET / HTTP/1.0CRLFCFLF
        
It's probably getting getting tripped up by non-ASCII newlines where
it's expecting the http version field.
