Just in case, you didn't know already:

This ICY crap (yes, i call it crap, because a HTTP-request deserves a
HTTP response, and sending this ICY crap instead is really a bad idea,
whoever had it) seems to be pretty wide spread. Just checked many of the
streams at shoutcast.com.

But you never heard about that? Am i the first one who complains?

I expected this "full transparency" to be a standard feature because of
this mess out there in the net.
Maybe even configurable (enable transparent mode depending on a regular
expression analysing the first line of the reply).

Can this HTTP 0.9 support be switched off somehow? If the first line of
the reply is not "HTTP.*", then i don't want it ...
