i've got a problem while responding to POST requests. i'm currently developing a small http-server to configure some files via a webbrowser. while sending responses to GET requests everything works fine and the browser prints the output. but if i try to handle a post request i encounter different reactions by netscape navigator and internet explorer. after processing the content of the post-request i'm sending the html-output to the client and close the connection. this works fine with NN. but IE doesn't show the page and gives an error-msg telling me that the connection has been reset. i just don't get it why NN is doing fine and IE not. what's the difference between responses to GET and POST requests ? why is IE telling me errors and not showing the transmitted page ? greetings, olli here's some of the code: while ((conn = accept(sock,(struct sockaddr *) &addr,&addr_length)) >= 0) { /* reading/parsing header etc. */ if (strcmp(request->method,"POST") == 0) { putsock(conn,"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\n"); putsock(conn,"Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"); putsock(conn,"Netscape Navigator shows this.\ Internet Explorer gives error"); } // here NN says "Document Done" and shows the page // but IE gives error msg "Connection Reset" close(conn); } -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
