[Live-devel] Another kasenna specific issue

I don't know if there's anything we can do about this.  The code needs to 
know exactly how much data to read from the TCP socket (to get the entire 
SETUP response), otherwise it'll block if it tries to read to much.  (The 
socket is blocking.)  Normally, the code uses the "Content-Length:" header 
to figure out how much more data to read, but, without this, the only way 
you can do this is by parsing the Kasenna bullshit response data, reading 
one byte at a time until you're sure that you've read all the data that you 
want (and don't try to read any more than this).

So, if you can figure out how to parse the Kasenna bullshit data to read 
the exact amount of data in the response, then that will work.  Otherwise, 
you're SOL.
