I'm working on a project that currently uses Berkley's netcat (nc), however, during some research I stumbled on ncat. I can see that it's much more comprehensive so I'd like to make the switch to using it instead, but I can't seem to get it working right. The project is basically a bash version of a web server. I'll post the working code below. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply David. I've tried using your stated command in place of the 'while' loop, but I'm still getting the same result - no content in browser. Possibly a problem by not using the $SO named pipe? I did take a look at the example page before I even contacted this mailing list, but I didn't see anything on there that was helpful. Any other thoughts?
