[users@httpd] HTTP Server connection hangs
Hello,
I am rather unfamiliar with HTTP Server requirements. I am trying to
implement a simple HTTP 1.1 server that receives a GET request, and
transfers a 3gp (video) file to the client. All works fine except the fact
that the client gets the file, but does not close the connection.
I do not have the length of the content I send out, so I cannot declare it.
Here are the headers I use:
statusCode: 200
Server: MyServer...
Date: <now>
Content-type: video/3gp
connection: close
What am I missing?
Thanks,

Sorry, I thought you were implementing your own HTTP Server and
concerned with generating all of this yourself.
These objects and methods don't mean anything to me. You can use
chunked encoding to signal the end of content whose length you don't
know. It's defined in rfc2616.

Connection: close means the server will close the connection when the
content is transferred, so you're not waiting for the client to do so.
