After looking into it a bit more, it looks like my patch isn't enough. It 
seems additional headers could follow the "100 Continue"-line and then 
followed by an empty line, and a new status line.

But the empty line is discarded by kio_http, so it's a bit hard to find the 
next status line. Is that information needed anywhere, or could everything up 
to the next status line be discarded by kio_http?
