Sending HTTP headers via plain sockets

[Navkirat Singh]

Aaah figured it out...!!

It was elementary, I was lacking the carriage return and line feed  
characters at the end of the status and header line. Here is how I  
solved it:

		hostsock.send(b'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently\r\nLocation: http://www.example.com\r\n' 
)
