Tightens up response content by removed superflous line breaks and whitespace.
By Doug Van Horn

---- CHANGES ----
v1.1 - 31st May 2011
Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]
Modified regex to strip leading/trailing white space from every line, not just those with blank \n.

---- TODO ----
* Ensure whitespace isn't stripped from within <pre> or <code> or <textarea> tags.
