Handling servers supplying malformed responses

I'm trying to use pound in front of a server which seems to be sending
malformed HTTP responses. Is there any way to disable pound's HTTP
header checking on the response?

The specific problem is of a CCTV DVR with a web server for remote
control and monitoring. The client is actually running a Java app, and
the client command which initiates the video stream results in a server
response which is just the raw application data - it does not have the
standard HTTP status line or any other HTTP headers. pound (not
surprisingly) throws a 414 followed by a 500 and disconnects from the
server.

Unfortunately that's not possible - Pound expects at the very least the
