Research direction

Start by running one of the chapter 11 examples with the listed CoffeeScript, Express, and Node versions, then trace the reported failure into src/controllers/responders/responder.js. Compare the other chapter 11 examples to determine whether they reach the same responder path; done means the chapter examples run without the reported headers error.
