Description
In the description of the example HTTP message a reference is made to an empty line which doesn't exist. Inserting the missing empty line in the example HTTP message shows how the empty line properly terminates the header section as described in the page content.
Motivation
The non-existence of the empty line should be fixed so that users are not confused by it being referred to, yet not being there. This contribution hopefully prevents such confusion.
Additional details
They empty line is mentioned in section 2.1 of RFC9112
I also considered adding "[ empty line ]" or "CRLF" as shown in the RFC but decided not to as a simple empty line is consistent with the next example directly after it, which contains a similar empty line.
