A blank line is required after the HTTP headers per 
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt>, yes.  Better still, try 
<http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/CGI> and 
<http://www.aim.env.uea.ac.uk/aim/info/fortran.pdf>, as those discuss 
Fortran CGI libraries that can help avoid spending more time than 
strictly necessary digging around in the RFCs and related materials.

If this or some other upcoming project should involve client-side use 
of HTTP or HTTPS, then libwww 
<http://www.johndapps.com/libwww-thew3cprotocollibraryonopenvms> can be 
very helpful, though that's centrally for C and C++.
