Problem in WebServer

[Abhimanyu dagla]

Hello friends,
I have a problem with this Code written for a server.It caters to the requests made by the browser .
But the HTml page never loads .the browser says it is opening the
default page..the progess bar comes to 50% and halts.
Please help.(OF course, get a HTML file as default file)
// a simple webserver
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
class Configuration {
int port;
String defaultfile;
Configuration(){
port=80;
defaultfile= "index.html"; // please get a html in your folder.
}
public int getPort(){
return port;
}
public String getDefaultFile(){
return defaultfile;
}
public void displayConfiguration(){
System.out.println("port: "+port);
System.out.println("defaultfile: "+defaultfile);
}
}
public class WebServer{
Configuration config;
WebServer(){
config=new Configuration();
}

void startServer(){
try{
ServerSocket server =new ServerSocket(config.getPort());
System.out.println("server started");
config.displayConfiguration();
while(true){
Socket c= server.accept();
new WebServerThread(c,config);// creating thread
}
}
catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); }
}
public static void main(String args[]){
WebServer ws= new WebServer();
ws.startServer();
}
}
class WebServerThread extends Thread{
DataInputStream din;
FilterOutputStream out;
Configuration config;
Socket client;
WebServerThread(Socket c, Configuration con){
client =c;
config=con;
this.start();
System.out.println("server thread started");
}
public void run(){
try{
din= new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(client.getInputStream()));
out= new FilterOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(client.getOutputStream()));
Vector lines= new Vector();
do{
String l= din.readLine();
if(l.length()<1) break;<br /> lines.addElement(l);<br /> System.out.println(l);<br /> }<br /> while(true);<br /> System.out.println("reading the lines");<br /> String firstline =(String)lines.elementAt(0);<br /> if(firstline.startsWith("GET"))<br /> processGetRequest(firstline);<br /> else<br /> if(firstline.startsWith("POST"));<br /> processPostRequest(firstline);<br /> System.out.println("Request fulfilled: breaking connection");<br /> client.close();<br /> din.close();<br /> out.close();<br /> }<br /> catch (Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); }<br /> }<br /> public void processPostRequest(String firstline){<br /> try{<br /> String data=din.readLine();<br /> System.out.println(data);<br /> } catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); }<br /> }<br /> <br /> public void processGetRequest(String firstline){<br /> System.out.println("about to process the GET request");<br /> String filename= getFileName(firstline);<br /> File file= new File(filename);<br /> if(file.exists())<br /> {<br /> sendFile(file);<br /> System.out.println("sent the file");<br /> }<br /> else<br /> System.out.println("File not found");<br /> }<br /> <br /> public String getFileName(String firstline){<br /> String filename =null;<br /> StringTokenizer st= new StringTokenizer(firstline);<br /> String temp= st.nextToken();<br /> filename=st.nextToken();<br /> temp= st.nextToken();<br /> if(filename.length()>1)
{
filename.substring(1);
if(filename.endsWith("/"))
filename+=config.getDefaultFile();
}
else
{
filename=config.getDefaultFile();
}
return filename;
}
public void sendFile(File file){
try{
FileInputStream fin= new FileInputStream(file);
DataInputStream in= new DataInputStream(fin);
byte buff[]= new byte[(int)file.length()];
in.close();
for(int i=0; i<buff.length; i++){>
out.write(buff[i]);
out.flush();
}
System.out.println("File "+file.getName()+" sent successfully");
}
catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); }

Hi Abhimanyu,
I'm going to move this to the Java intermediate forum as it's not related to Certification study.

Your response to the client has to start with an HTTP response line, like one of these:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
HTTP/1.1 404 Not found
then any HTTP headers:
Content-type: text/html
Content-length: whatever
followed by one blank line, and then the data.
If you're writing a web server (which is really not difficult, as you have discovered), you really should refer to the HTTP specification, RFC2616 at
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt . It has all the answers.

Thanks for the link , phil.
The Server code has run, 'finally'.
