The problem here is that every network camera manufacturer uses the MJPEG 
format he wants. That means things like "hey, let's get rid of this \r\n" and 
"hey, let's put an invalid Content-Lenght header just to screw things up".

I've just tried to reproduce the problem with VLC 0.8.2 on my Debian computer, 
and everything seems to work just fine (VLC just drops every "Content-Lenght" 
header from streams that implement it, plays the video perfectly). I wonder 
what the hell went wrong in the Windows compile... :-/
