    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!

    Why - there are plenty of such code available on the web, so why should we regurgitate what is available already.
    Let me google that for you

    Ok, so maybe not with comments explaining every single line - nor should that be necessary, as either you do have an understanding of C and don't need trivial comments, or you do not have sufficient understanding to deal with a web-server. Just like you need to at least know a little bit about mechanics to repair the engine of a car - do you think the manual for repairing a car says "turn screw 5 counterclockwise until it comes out", or "remove screw 5"?

    Network programming is not trivial, you need to understand some common C concepts first.
