In version 5.4, there was an issue with the http headers as far as the fact that
they were only being returned by requests for status.txt, it was discussed on
the developer list here:

http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=1341&highlight=http+headers

I am currently running a nightly build from the 20th April 2004 and it appears
that there are no http headers returned at all. I have tried requesting several
different pages i.e. status.xml, status.html, status.txt and I am not seeing any
of the MIME headers that should be present i.e. X-Player etc.

A request under v5.4.1 would return the following result:

As you can see, the http headers are all present, but doing the same request
under a recent nightly of v6 produces the following result:
