There is another problem - if you use it to get olsr data from
httpinfo plugin uclient-fetch stalls and times out:

# uclient-fetch -O- http://127.0.0.1:2006
Downloading 'http://127.0.0.1:2006'
Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2006
Connection error: Connection timed out

The daemon should work fine, at least curl and wget on Ubuntu handle it fine.

# echo GET /all | nc 127.0.0.1 2006 | head
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-type: text/plain
