Re: [PATCH] Verify Content-Type from smart HTTP servers

I was specifically thinking of this (on top of your patch):

 		if (buffer.len && buffer.buf[buffer.len - 1] == '\n')

To just follow the dumb path if we don't get the content-type we expect.
We may want to keep the '#' format check in addition (packet_get_line
will check it and die, anyway, but we may want to drop back to
considering it dumb, just to protect against a badly configured dumb
server which uses our mime type, but I do not think it likely).

Does this look good to both of you (relative to Shawn's patch)?
