Oh, I forgot to tell you. Sorry. That was silly of me...
The problem is that a valid HTTP response for HTML content must start
with a header like (for HTTP/1.1):

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html

<content follow after a blank line>

This is bug 750; I put some more info in that report.

Note that you can look at the complete HTTP response using telnet. If
you have more questions about implementing the work-around I'll be happy
to answer them.
