Unless the script name starts with "nph-", the HTTP/1.0 line is the
responsibility of the web server, not the CGI script. Of course, it's
possible that the busybox web server never does the parsing that it's
supposed to, in which case the 'header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK");' suggestion is
the right one.

The X-Powered-By line doesn't hurt anything. Content-Type does not have to
be first.
