Where does it go?  Something like:

#!/bin/sh
cat << EOF
HTTP/1.1 200 Get Lost
Date: `date`
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

<HTML>
<BODY>
<H1>
<FONT COLOR="red">
<CENTER>
<BLINK>
BUGGER OFF
</BLINK>
</CENTER>
</FONT>
</H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
EOF

?

BTW, 'while true; do bugger.sh | nc -l -p 80; done' makes a fine (and probably
very secure) webserver...
