Simple, most of those are part of the public API and hence in 'microhttpd.h'.

No, you should just #include 'microhttpd.h'.  The only reason why 'response.h' 
exists is that there is one function that is defined in 'response.c' which is 
not considered public (since I don't think it is generally useful and I like 
minimal APIs) and we need it in 'daemon.c'.

No, they are in 'microhttpd.h' and you should simply include that header.  
Don't prototype them twice.

Happy hacking,
