 The purpose of
 [source:trunk/package/busybox/patches/410-httpd_cgi_headers.patch?rev=9463]
 is to fix HTTP answers from cgi-scripts with a custom HTTP status-code
 lacking the Content-type header. However this mechanism kicks in as soon
 as the cgi-script outputs at least 4 bytes, which may lead to a premature
 end of the HTTP-header ("Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"). Every header
 line the script outputs after that will loose its effect and will be
 visible in the browser.

 I propose to remove this patch. Developers of cgi-scripts will have full
 control (and responsibility) over the status and the headers of the HTTP-
 response which is not a bad thing in my opinion.
