I have a microhttpd based server program (mhdServer ) that happily
serves files and more, when run on a 64-bit LinuxPC and is accessed
through requests such as http://localhost:8080/filename.html.
However, porting this program to a remote 32-bit Arm-Linux platform is
proving to be a challenge: It ALMOST WORKS:
* It replies with a “404 File not found” response to requests for
non-existing files ..as it should
But, requests for existing files do not get the anticipated reply:
* Client hangs waiting for requested web page files
* However, the web page is displayed by the client as soon as the
mhdServer program is terminated!!
Examination of the mhdServer program with a remote debugger indicates that:
* All client requests are being received
* The requested files are indeed located and fopen'ed
* MHD_create_response_from_callback() returns MHD_YES (1)
* MHD_queue_response() returns 1, indicating success ..yet the client
keeps waiting patiently for its response ..which only arrives upon
mhdServer's dying breath
I have been banging my head against this for days. Can anyone suggest
any tests that might shed light on this strange behaviour?
