For some reason I can't get my first ever quixote app ver. 0.01 work
with the medusa server from your patch. Requests just time out. I have
no problem with the standalone medusa, following the instructions posted
by Dave Kuhlman here on Jan 7. I'd like to use the stripped-down medusa
from quixote, so how could I debug this problem?

By the way there is a tiny cosmetic problem in your http_server.py that
is remedied by the patch below. The newlines don't work with forward
slashes on my linux system.
