Because you need to know where the end of the message is, the client can't
close the connection until it gets back a reply. You either need a
Content-Length: or you can use a message boundary by encoding a multipart:
POST /hyplan/sanders.html HTTP/1.0
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary="somestring"
--somestring
Content-type: application/x-www-textform
name=testing
--somestring--
--sanders
