Any of these are fine (except if in the last one you mean to introduce a
newline, you should avoid that, as it makes it harder to grade).  It would
also be fine for the first example to instead say "Invalid Request-Method".

Basically, there needs to be an error message and it needs to correctly
point out a problem with the line, but that's it.
