No it doesn't ... you need something more like:

	 do
             {
             w=fwrite(&buf[o],sizeof(char),n,c->client);
             n-=w;
             o+=w;
             }
         while(w && n && !r->connection->aborted);

And in this case:

	 do
             {
             w=write(...
             n-=w;
             o+=w;
             }
         while(w > 0 && n && !r->connection->aborted);

Cheers,

Ben.
