Hi,
I'm trying to retrieve some .gif files from an http server from within a
program running on a Unix machine, using directly sockets and an http request
like
GET http://host/virtual_path/file.gif
on this socket. But the output I get back from the server is a corrupted
file, although the response-header is ok. The output is shorter than the
size announced by the header, and some bytes are different.
The same file can be retrieved without any problem through a usual web
browser, and, also, my code using sockets works fine on regular html
files.
Does anybody have any idea of what may be the cause of the problem ?
Thank you,
Jean.
