[Gambas-user] Socket cuts out before full page is read.

[Robert Moss]

First of all I would like to thank all of you for your efforts ^_^ you have
have been a wonderful ally in learning this new language.

I am using the socket control to create a local ui to a web interface.
I create a request that looks like:

GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: www.microsoft.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)

and when it reads in the data, it cuts out not even half way thru.

I use this code:

PRIVATE FUNCTION ConnSend(Data AS String) AS String
  DIM sBuf AS String
  DIM i AS Integer 'counter
  DIM sTotal AS String

  sBuf = Data

  ME.Connect(myHTTP.USE_HOST, myHTTP.USE_PORT)  'connects to host:port
  DO WHILE (ME.Status <> 7) AND (ME.Status > 0)
    WAIT 0.1
    INC i
    IF i = 200 THEN
      'Timeout - Bail
      DEBUG "Timeout - waiting for connection"
      MyClose() 'close and quit
      RETURN ""
    END IF
  LOOP
  i = 0 'reset counter

  IF ME.Status <> 7 THEN
    DEBUG "Error: " & ME.Status
    MyClose()
    RETURN "" 'ensure we don't go on
  END IF

  WRITE #ME, sBuf, Len(sBuf) 'Writes the get or post headers with cookies
sometimes

  DO WHILE Lof(ME) = 0
    WAIT 0.1
    INC i
    IF i = 200 THEN
      'Timeout - Bail
      DEBUG "Timeout - Waiting for reply"
      MyClose()
      RETURN "" 'ensure we don't go on
    END IF

  LOOP

  DO WHILE (NOT Eof(ME))
    READ #ME, sBuf, Lof(ME)  'I previously just used the standard READ #ME,
sBuf, Lof(ME) by itself, but i thought this might work
    sTotal &= sBuf
  LOOP

  RETURN sTotal

END

Is there anything I can do?

In the return header, it has

Connection: Close

and no mention of Chunk (data sending)
