[Twisted-Python] Problem with MovableType, XMLRPC, and CGI

[Alex Levy]

I was trying to access the MovableType XML-RPC server (which uses Perl's
SOAP::Lite module), and kept getting Interal Server Errors. The problem,
as it turned out, was that the headers were separated from the response
by '\n\r\n', which wasn't recognized.

Is this a bug in Twisted, or in SOAP::Lite? I'm reluctant to add it to
the bug tracker without knowing whether this is actually a problem for
the Twisted team.

Below is the dirty nasty quick-fix I used:
