HTML code sent to Firefox via OutputStream in Java not recognized

I have a simple application in Java that writes some HTML code to an OutputStream.

Running this and opening the connection with either Chromium or Opera works perfectly, whereas with Firefox the HTML code is not interpreted and displayed as is.

The string containing the code is like the following one:

HTMLCode = "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<body>\n<h1>\n"
           + "The sum of " + operand1 + " and " + operand2 + " is " + result
           + "\n</h1>\n</body>\n</html>";

where operand1, operand2 and result are Strings.

I write to the OutputStream via the following code:

new PrintStream(out).println(HTMLCode);

Chromium and Opera correctly display, for instance, the following:

The sum of 10 and 20 is 30

Firefox displays 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>
The sum of 2 and 34 is 36
</h1>
</body>
</html>

Send the proper HTML headers before the actual content. 

PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(out);
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, MMM d, yyyy HH:mm:ss z");
ps.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
ps.println("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
ps.println("Date: " + df.format(new Date()));
ps.println("Connection: close");
ps.println();
ps.println(HTMLCode);
