Hello, I'm currently trying to write a concurrent webserver in Unix. I need to process the Http requests seperately. I'm not using connect(), I'm just using accept and then I need to read the socket input stream and parse the Http request. After this I am trying to construct the response message and then send it to the client.

I've tried a few different ways to read the socket input stream, but I'm not getting anything that looks like an Http request. For instance I need to process...

GET /somedir/page.html HTTP/1.0
(extra carriage return, line feed)

I only need to worry about the GET function for the Http requests. I guess my question is what is the surefire way to read and parse this request from the socket? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

now i am fired up with the c++ .

we have typecasting operator in c. why we need some compelx typecasting operator in c++ like static_cast,dynamic_cast and reinterpret_cast.
can u explaint some thing for it.


thanks&regards

In C, typecasting is very dangerous because you can make the compiler pretend any type is any other type without a conversion function or anything. In C++, there are the four kinds of cast operators that do subtly different things. There are many resources on the Internet about these. Have you tried searching Google! Here's a good one (but there are many others): http://gethelp.devx.com/techtips/cpp...0min0701-2.asp


@AJSHOPE: What ways? Can you show us the code? What went wrong? I guess I'm not sure exactly what your question is--are you trying to read the info from the socket and not getting what you expected (what are you getting, then)? Are you trying to parse the input?
