 Not sure in which egg the actual bug is residing, but sometimes the server
 closes the connection instead of returning a 400: Bad Request

 You can simulate a Bad Request by starting Spiffy and requesting
 {{{http://127.0.0.1:8080//}}}. Requesting a double slash returns a 400.
 (Whether that is a valid 400 or not is open for debate.)

 But requesting the following URLs closes the connection, without returning
 anything:
 * http://127.0.0.1:8080/%
 * http://127.0.0.1:8080//%20/
 * http://127.0.0.1:8080//";
 * http://127.0.0.1:8080/%";
 * http://127.0.0.1:8080//%%20/

 " is actually %22, so I think the problem lies somewhere with handling
 %-characters.
