Hello everyone, I'm messing with a tiny webserver. A problem arises when I access this webserver with Firefox. When the webserver is done sending all of the data to Firefox, the last send(), at which should release -1 if an error occured:
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man3/send.3.html
Doesn't, and instead it closes my application :(
The webserver does not close, everything goes OK, when I access the webserver with Konqueror or Epiphany web browsers. For some reason Firefox likes to kill the webserver with the send() function!
Here's a code snip:
Here's the overall output:Code:puts( "*** WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT!!" ); assert((z=send(cs,b,strlen(b),0))!=-1); puts( "*** PHEW!!" ); printf("Sent %d bytes\n",z);
Notice the end where the webserver screams: "WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT!!", well, they didn't make it :(....*cries*....Code:HTTP server running, please visit http://localhost:60001 Press a key to exit...

Here's the updated webserver code.

Does anybody have any hints of why send() kills the webserver unexpectively at the very end of sending data to Firefox ? :(
PS: Tell me if I should post all of the code onto the forum in text.
