Thread: Web Server Issues

I am having an issue sending information to my browser on a valid request.
This is the header file we create on a valid file, printed out to the console.

Message:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 139
Connection: Close

0�5

My socket is set up to listen, and here's my valid request code:

Code:

int return_result(int fd, char *content_type, char *buf, int numbytes) {
  FILE *fp;
  fp=fdopen(fd, "w+");
  if (fp==NULL) {
    perror("Couldn't open file");
    return -1;
  }
  char* message;
  message=malloc(sizeof(char)*MSGSIZE+sizeof(buf));
  int count=sprintf(message, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\rContent-Type: %s\n\rContent-Length: %d\n\rConnection: Close\n\n%s\n\r",content_type, numbytes, &buf);
   printf("Message:\n%s\n",message);
   write(fd, message, strlen(message));
   fflush(fp); //flush
   close(fp);
   return 0;

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for any help.

The malloc()'d memory maybe insufficient, as sizeof(buf) returns size of the pointer instead of the array.

Is there a different way to load .gif and .jpeg as opposed to .txt or .html? If not, we can't load the images.
