Comment:

 TBB no longer includes an HTTP proxy.

 According to the message which Tor's SOCKSPort emits when someone attempts
 to use it as an HTTP proxy/server, you need to send a larger response in
 order to ensure that Internet Explorer will display it.

 Now the control port will silently eat commands with certain names.  It
 should send a reply.

 This still might send an HTTP-like response even if the HTTP-request-like
 line isn't the first thing send on a connection.

 `strcasecmp` should be the wrong function.  Perhaps you want
 `strcasecmpstart`?
