According to the Rack spec:

"The Body must respond to each and must only yield String values. The
Body itself should not be an instance of String, as this will break in
Ruby 1.9."

In other words: the Body is *not* a string, and is usually an Array of
string. When you call response.empty? you're actually checking whether
the response is an empty array, and returning just that.

You should figure out how to do what you want with only an #each
method at your disposal.
