Hi Jerome,

Thanks a lot for your reply, replacing the handle() method by an implementation 
of get() yielded a NullPointerException in the ServerResource.handle 
implementation. It turned out it was because I'm also overriding the 'init' 
method in order to get to the request and response objects, as I read somewhere 
in the docs that I should do. Commenting out my overriding of init or calling 
super.init solved the NPE. I also read somewhere on the restlet website that 
"to intercept init, I can override doInit" which I didn't do because I didn't 
want to "intercept" anything. I only want to get a reference to me request and 
response objects. 

The broken pipe exception remains. The client is Chrome Version 27.0.1453.110 
on Ubuntu, as I mentioned via an HTML <embed> tag generally used for videos. 
Here is the info that get be gather from Chrome dev tools for that particular 
request. Note that I did try setting the Content-Length header explicitly.

Final note: it took my a while to find out how to add header to an HTTP 
response. I understand that Restlet aims to be more general than HTTP, but one 
has to assume HTTP is the overwhelming majority of use cases. I would suggest 
that a call to:

HttpResponse.addHeader(....)

should lead to a NullPointerException, but rather automatically create the 
header "Series" in the response if they are not there. 

Thanks again!
Boris
