This works for receiving requests from a browser.  I haven't tested it in 
a real industrial strength situation yet.  The first thing you'd need to 
improve is to handle requests larger than BUFSIZE.

#define BUFSIZE 10000
int reader(int fd)
{
    char buf[BUFSIZE+1];
    char *bptr = buf;
    int n;
    int buflen;

    buflen = BUFSIZE;

    /* read the string itself */
    while( (n = read(fd, bptr, buflen)) > 0){
        bptr[n] = '\0';
        bptr += n;
        buflen -= n;
    }
    /* if the output of this looks funny, by the way, keep in mind that
       ^M is ascii 13 */
    printf("read from httpd server: \n%s\n",buf);

    if( buflen == BUFSIZE )
        return(n);
    else
        return(BUFSIZE - buflen);
}
