204 is "No Content". Quoting the RFC:
The 204 response MUST NOT include a message-body, and thus is always
terminated by the first empty line after the header fields.
This, despite the fact that a 204 response may include a content-length
header with a non-zero value. Make sure you're handling this properly.
