If that's supposed to be talking HTTP, then your request was missing
the version tag. Apache assumes that if there's no version tag, then 
the request must be from an antique browser like the original Mosaic.
In that case it only responds to the "GET" and "POST" commands, and
sends its response with no headers.

Also, the original NCSA httpd only responded to uppercase requests;
"GET" was valid, but "get" was not. Apparently Apache has relaxed that
requirement, but I don't know if the icecast server software does.

Your request should be of the form

    HEAD /wjhu/listen.pls HTTP/1.0

or

    HEAD /wjhu/listen.pls HTTP/1.1
    Host: live.charm.net

followed by a blank line to terminate the request.

    Children no longer mind their parents, every man wants to write a book,
    and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching."
