Folder list

When a WebTV/MSN TV client has to retrieve the list of favorite folders for the current user, it will make a WTVP GET request to the service URL defined in the wtv-favorites-folders-url header from the final headwaiter response. The service the URL points to is usually hosted on wtv-favorite, and the service URL used by the original service was wtv-favorite:/list-folders.

The response for the folder list service has a Content-Type of text/html, but the body data is a NUL-terminated sequence of strings representing the names of the favorite folders on the current user's account.
