All helpers MUST respond to every line of input they receive with a single
line of output. Every non-response is a hung client request. They MAY
respond with by shutting themselves down without output if they deem the
input to be corrupt.

Empty lines should not be sent to the url_rewriters. Are you sure this is
not the end-of-line sent by squid for the lines you are reading in?

perl spawned foreach into several more recent languages. Python being
newer may have that or some equivalent.
