* HTTP messages use the generic message format of RFC 822 for
* transferring entities (the payload of the message). Both types
* of message consist of a start-line, zero or more header fields
* (also known as "headers"), an empty line (i.e., a line with nothing
* preceding the CRLF) indicating the end of the header fields,
* and possibly a message-body.
*
*
* generic-message = start-line
* *(message-header CRLF)

* start-line = Request-Line | Status-Line
