No, the status line was omitted unintentionally, thanks for fixing this.
I guess that web server (at least Apache) adds it if it is missing.

From the CGI 1.1 specs [1], section 9.2:

  If the script does not return a Status header, then "200 OK" should
  be assumed.

So, perhaps it is better to skip the Status header on success (less
for the server to parse).

I do not think it matters either way.  It is just a single header line, no?

The code is certainly more explicit with your patch.
