 content-type, however, you're right, theres no way to mearly return the
 first x bytes of the document.. And on top of that, most of the HTTP

 Well, I wanted all of the classes to work to the same for consistency. It
 is impossible to know which class you are going to be using. It is still
 possible to support something like this by cutting the string to that
 size, but it is probably better to look at what the function is trying to
 do and correct it.
