Slight nitpick: you did (HTTP/1.0).  If you really want to show the 
bottom-of-the barrel behaviour, drop that off which gets you HTTP 0.x 
behaviour -- not exactly commonly encountered today :)  HTTP 0.x had no 
provisions for a request header, so you should not need to send a blank 
line after the GET.
