If you look at the code in the libs/network/test/hello_world.cpp -- or
there abouts I don't have the directory handy at the moment -- you
should see something like this:

  response << header("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream")
    << header("Connection", "close");

What that actually means is you're pushing in HTTP headers into the
response. It's the same if you intend to push in the body of the
response as well:

  response << body("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.");

You can find information about this in the documentation for the HTTP
Response in the library:
