			// The following line will deadlock (intentionally), since HTTP 
			// enjoins the client to send a request (like "GET / HTTP/1.0")
			// and a null line, before reading the response.

			// Should only get out of the readLine if an interrupt
			// is thrown, as a result of closing the socket.

			// So we shouldn't get here, ever:
