1st post gives me a project for learning C

and reinforcing what I have learned

My pleasure . <3 . I suggest looking up Beej's Guide to Network Programming (a Web site) for some very helpful notes on the Unix Sockets API . Also, I recommend reading the man page for sendfile - because it is a real pain in the necku to deal with short writes ! Finally, telnet is a very useful tool for testing your server - better than a real web browser because you can control exactly the request .

Good hunting !
