Thanks. I have tested the patch and works. However, I have found another
problem about header parsing which your patch hasn't addressed.
    Transfer() will get into infinity loop when the server send a response
like this:
        "HTTP 304 Not Modified\r\n\r\n".
    Just one line finished response. Do you have any idea?
