    When talking to Livestatus we use the LQL - the Livestatus Query Language.

        * A Command in the form of 'GET <table>' (e.g. 'GET services')
        * Arbritary number of 'Header Lines' in the form of 'Header: Argument'
        * An Empty line, i.e. \n

    Example Livestatus Queries:
        'GET contacts\n'
