recv() apparently ignoring part of a TCP Stream

MQX 3.8 recv()

I have a requirement to read a file using TCP

My TCP Client does the following:

Creates a socket

Sets socket option: OPT_RECEIVE_NOWAIT TRUE

Binds client to socket

Connects socket to Host

Sends the string "Get /fs/title.htm HTTP/1.1\r\n\

Host: 172.18.11.137\r\n\r\n"

Uses the following code to retrieve the response:

#define MAX_SOCKET_WINDOWS_SIZE  1024 *

char sBuffer[MAX_SOCKET_WINDOWS_SIZE]={0};

_time_delay(30);

memset(sBuffer, 0, sizeof(sBuffer));

bytesReceived = recv(sockfd, sBuffer, 1024, 0);

printf("bytes received: %i\n",bytesReceived);

printf("Received \"%s\".\n",sBuffer);

while ((bytesReceived > 0) && (bytesReceived != RTCS_ERROR) )

{

      memset(sBuffer, 0, sizeof(sBuffer));

      bytesReceived = recv(sockfd, sBuffer, 1024, 0);

      printf("bytes received: %i\n",bytesReceived);

      if (bytesReceived > 0)

      {

            printf("Received \"%s\".\n",sBuffer);

      }

}

Monitoring the transaction using Wireshark I get the following:

GET /fs/title.htm HTTP/1.1

Host: 172.18.11.137

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server: WindWeb/2.0

Connection: close

Content-Type: text/html

WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="MPFR"

Content-Length: 2311

Date: MON JAN 21 16:00:00 2013

Last-Modified: MON JAN 21 16:00:00 2013

<<  the body of title.htm >>>

But my TCP Client only gives:

bytes received: 13

Received "HTTP/1.1 200 ".

bytes received: 0

The header and file from “OK” onwards seem to be ignored.

If  I change the HTTP command by sending the string: "HEAD /fs/title.htm HTTP/1.1\r\n\

Host: 172.18.11.137\r\n\r\n"

I get on Wireshark:

HEAD /fs/title.htm HTTP/1.1

Host: 172.18.11.137

HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented

Server: WindWeb/2.0

Connection: close

WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="MPFR"

Content-Type: text/html

And from my client:

bytes received: 135

Received "HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented

Server: WindWeb/2.0

Connection: close

WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="MPFR"

Content-Type: text/html

".

bytes received: -1

Received "".

Error recv() failed error code 1638

Which I would expect (presumably the server does not implement HEAD).

In both cases my server is responding as I would expect to the command sent but when using the GET command recv() does not capture all the data from the server.

Seems like incorrect usage of recv() function when NOWAIT option is set. In this case, recv() function does not block waiting for , it gets the bytes that are in the receive buffer and returns this number of bytes immediately.

So I think you should call recv() in a while loop until you detect end of HTTP response in the received data. When NOWAIT is TRUE, recv() can return zero.
