    Winsock exe send html to IE

    Hi,

    I was just wanted to see if this can be done.

    I made a winsock server that listens on port 3550, when somthing connects it sends out some text.

    I did this with IE:

    http://127.0.0.1:3550

    It connected to my server program fine, but then IE just said this page cannot be displayed instead of printing out the text that i sent it.

    Is this possible?

    This is the buffer that i sent to the client:

    char success[] = "Content-type: text/html\n\n<html>\nHello</html>"

    I just want that to be shown in IE when i connect to the server, or is this not possible?

    Thanks

    That should be enough, but I remember there being something about a 3-way handshake....I've got a site in my favorites which describes and gives cod for an HTTP server and client..lemme find it...

    here we go! http://www.vijaymukhi.com/vmis/vmchap4.htm

    just go down to where it has the HTTP server...have fun
