HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn::send_basic_header() always
sends Server: and Date: headers, even if they already exist
in the HTTP::Response object. This is a problem because
send_response() always calls send_basic_header(). In my case,
the HTTP::Response object is an actual response from another
server, so naturally already contains those headers.

Fortunately, the excellent design of the class made it easy for
me to override send_basic_header() in a subclass, but it would
have been nice if I hadn't had to.
