Mac OS 9 was released on October 23, 1999.
The Mac OS client is issuing a read (AFPRead) request to the server, and the server is indeed sending the requested data.

 Jobs: Mac OS 9, rest in peace | CNET News.com
Although Apple would like developers to think of OS 9 as "dearly departed," in fact OS 9 and earlier versions are used on the vast majority of the 25 million Macs in service.
Like other Mac OS X applications, the iChat program can take advantage of a universal address book that will be built into the new version of Mac OS X. Jobs also said that on May 14 Apple will introduce a rack-mounted server, the first dedicated server Apple has introduced in a long time.
In contrast to last year, when Apple was focused on getting developers to bring their programs to the already released Mac OS X, the company is talking much more about the future--so much so that Apple reminded conference-goers that nearly the whole conference is considered confidential information covered by the company's nondisclosure agreement.

 Macworld: News: Developers speak on the death of OS 9
Any developer who hasn't already figured out that Mac OS 9 was end-of-life, and who consequently has been delaying or refusing support for Mac OS X, is going to become a grape in the path of the steamroller of progress," said Rich Siegel, president of Bare Bones Software.
Currently some developers are making their software compatible with Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. While Apple has tried to make it as easy as possible for developers to support both operating systems, some see the death of OS 9 as a cost savings as well.
The death of OS 9 was just the beginning for Steve Jobs yesterday -- the company quickly followed up the funeral of the company's Classic operating system with a sneak peek of the future of Mac OS X. Code-named Jaguar, the next update to Mac OS X will see many new features and performance enhancements.
