We've currently incorporated the magic as:

> The client connection header is a sequence of 25 octets (in hex notation)
> 
> 464f4f202a20485454502f322e300d0a0d0a4241520d0a0d0a
> (the string FOO * HTTP/2.0\r\n\r\nBAR\r\n\r\n) followed by a SETTINGS frame (Section 3.8.4). 

That string was based upon the quick testing I did a while back. 

I'm curious to know how people feel about this; while it's cosmetic, do we want to do something a little more... expected, like:

START * HTTP/2.0\r\n\r\nGO\r\n\r\n

?
