Page is served when the server is stopped!

[stupidly-logical]

When I run it like:

./shinatra.sh 8080 index.html

the page keeps loading. As soon as I terminate it with Ctrl+C, the content is served. Is this the intended behaviour?

[shrinidhi111]

Same issue here..

After I start the server and open the page in Firefox, it keeps loading forever. But as soon as I CTRL+C the server, the response loads.

I was able to reproduce this problem as well.

That would be the keepalive setting. You really want to close the connection after sending the response to have a consistent behavior in browsers:

     -N      shutdown(2) the network socket after EOF on the input.  Some servers require this to finish their work.

while nc -Nl 8082 <<< 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain

OK'; do ; done

see #16

That makes sense, but removing the `Connection: keep-alive` does not seem to fix the issue (at least, in the browsers I've tried).

You should set it to close, not remove it. Otherwise it means you are accepting the browser's setting which is keep-alive.

[bendem]

Sorry, I realise I had removed it in my example, added it back.

Replace nc with ncat from NMAP package should work even in keep-alive or close connection mode.

like it #23 ?

like it #23 ?

ncat still needs p or --source-port argument to define the port.

[JeremyLARDENOIS]

No, you can give a port without the argument cause ncat take ports in parameter already
