Yep. I think I brought this up like … over a year ago. I'll go fire up 
a clean test app to make sure it's still an issue and not something 
left over from older development I've done.

Yep. Starting a clean App with the test server just hangs Safari:

   Safari can’t open the page.
   Safari could not open the page “http://localhost:3000/” because the 
server stopped responding.

-k has no effect. The debug output never shows the request at all. I 
*think* IE for Mac (not to support development for it, I know it's 
abandon-ware) had the same problem with earlier versions of Cat's test 
server but it did not have any trouble just now. I had the same problem 
on Safari years ago with a socket level chat server and it had to do 
with knowing when to stop reading the incoming request (that's why I 
was guessing it might be related to the char counting, line ending 
issue). Sorry I don't have the code in front of me to compare.
