Hi Everyone,
I'm new to libmicrohttpd and I'm having an issue I don't know at all how to
start troubleshooting it.
I want to answer an HTTP GET request with the content of a file that is in the
same directory as my executable.
I'm using the function MHD_create_response_from_fd_at_offset to create the
MHD_Response.
I already checked the file descriptor and the size information I'm passing to
this function and it is fine.
I also checked that reading the whole content of the file using the read
function works.
However my request is not answered (at least the page does not load in the
browser) and the following is
written to stderr: "Closing connection (stream error)".
At the end of this message you will find an extract of my code.
Do you have some hints about what is going wrong here?
Or ideas how I can troubleshoot this?
Many thanks in advance for your help !
My Code:
int main()
{
// Start the web server
unsigned int flags = MHD_USE_SELECT_INTERNALLY | MHD_USE_DEBUG;
webDaemon = MHD_start_daemon (flags,
80,
NULL, // No access policy
handler: connections from any client are allowed
NULL,
&answer_to_connection, // Access
handler: answers to requests
NULL,
MHD_OPTION_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT,
(unsigned int) 120,
MHD_OPTION_END);
}
int answer_to_connection(void *cls,
struct MHD_Connection *connection,
const char *url,
const char *method,
const char *version,
const char *upload_data,
size_t *upload_data_size,
void **ptr)
{
struct MHD_Response *response = createMhdResponseForFile("index.html",
"text/html");
if (response == NULL)
{
// TODO Create default HTTP 404 Page
}
Int ret = MHD_queue_response(connection, httpStatusCode, response);
MHD_destroy_response(response);
return ret;
}
MHD_Response* createMhdResponseForFile(const char* path, const char* mime)
{
struct stat fileStats;
int fileDescriptor = open(path, O_RDONLY);
if (fileDescriptor < 0)
{
return NULL;
}
if (fstat(fileDescriptor, &fileStats) != 0)
{
if (close(fileDescriptor) != 0)
{
// TODO Some logging
}
return NULL;
}
MHD_Response* result =
MHD_create_response_from_fd_at_offset(fileStats.st_size,
fileDescriptor,
0);
MHD_add_response_header(result, "Content-Type", mime);
return result;
}
