- WinSock Server; send HTML
WinSock Server; send HTML
I'm very familiar with C++, but I have little knowledge of HTML, so I apologize if my question seems trivial (and yes, I've googled it fairly extensively).
So I have a multi client server running with WinSock2. What I'm trying to do is simply send some HTML code back to the connected client.
I connect to the server with firefox via the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and receive the GET request (GET / HTTP/1.1) along with the rest of the info (user-agent, connection type, etc.). I successfully send information back and close the socket, but in my client window, the HTML tags are disregarded; for example, if I send "<html><marquee>test</marquee></html>", the entire line, including the tags (<html><marquee>test</marquee></html>) will be shown.
I've tried sending "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" and two CRLF's before and after the response. When I view the source in my client (Firefox 10.0.0.2), it's blank. What is required for the client to read the response as HTML?
Thanks
