Hi, I am coding a webserver, and I'm kinda stuck at the moment.
The webserver perfectly sends text-based files to the client, but when I try to send files that has null-bytes (0x00) in them (like .PNG images), then then send() gets angry and stops the transmission at the null-byte.
Any good way to tackle this?
Are you sure you're not doing something like "strlen(buffer)" to get the number of bytes to send?
As far as I know, send() should be perfectly fine with whatever you like to send.

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
send() doesn't care about the values.
How are you determining the amount of data to be sent in the first place?
Did you open the file in binary mode?
Did you use fread() to read the data?
Did you use the return result of fread() as the length for send() ?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
