[Gambas-user] Trouble writing to Accepted Socket stream

[Cedron Dawg]

It's been a long time since I did HTTP, and not much of it then.

I got it to work by closing the socket right after the write.  I don't think that's how you are supposed to do it, but it makes the browser happy.

Testing via telnet show the write happens immediately without the close statement.

Sorry I can't help more, but I'll play around a bit with it.

Perhaps you can ctrl-C a telnet and see if your Gambas disappears too.

The issue is not whether or not I am correctly implementing the HTTP protocol. The issue is that the Socket object isn't 
correctly writing to the stream.

The Socket doesn't become ready-to-write until AFTER I actually try to write to it. It's as if a Write attempt triggers the 
Socket.Write (ready-to-write) event handler. If I then attempt write to the stream in that handler, because it should be ready 
to right, it gets stuck in a self-triggering loop.

BTW, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" & crlf & crlf & "Hello world!" should be sufficient to satisfy the browser. It works with test servers 
coded in Python, Golang, and Rust.
