[prog] How to Send HTML message to Konqueror web browser....

Tue Oct 8 17:32:52 EST 2002

I think it's because you're not talking HTTP, you seem to be just dumping 
the response to the browser. This is fine for HTTP 0.9, which goes 
something like this:

Client: GET /
Server: <content here>

However, nowadays everyone uses HTTP 1.0 or 1.1, which goes like this:

Client:
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: www.everybuddy.com
User-Agent: <my web browser>
<blank line>

Server:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-type: text/html

<content here>

I'm guessing that Netscape 4 doesn't mind about you talking v0.9 to it, 
as it's an older browser, but KDE's HTTP ioslave probably doesn't bother 
planning for a server brain-dead enough to only know 0.9 :-P

As you're probably aware, given that you seem to be reading information 
from the incoming headers, the headers I just gave were just examples. 
However, it's advisable to get at least a Content-type header in there 
for standards' sake

AFAIK both \n and \r\n are OK as line endings to separate the headers.
