Re: ncat usage

Thanks for the response James. I did have that line, but with no trailing newlines. Since I've added the newlines to the output, when I access the URI, it's prompting me to save the file instead of executing it. I shouldn't need a "Content Type: ..." declaration as well before executing the script right? The executed script should provide that before sending output IIRC. 

Thanks,
Dave

The file you are trying to upload to the web browser, does it have the
http response as the first line followed by a couple of newlines?

A valid file to return would look like this:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK

<html>
   <body>
     <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
   </body>
</html>

Without the http response in the file the browser won't know what to do.

I got this example file from here: http://nmap.org/ncat/guide/ncat-usage.html

Good afternoon gang!  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,
Dave



while (( 1 == 1 )); do                # causes an infinite loop for
processing requests
     #nc -Cl $sOPTS "$iPORT"<    "$SI">    "$SO" 2>>/tmp/debug.txt&      #
netcat-openbsd - DEBUGGING ERRORS/MESSAGES
     nc -Cl $sOPTS "$iPORT"<    "$SI">    "$SO"&
# netcat-openbsd
     #ncat $sOPTS -vvv -C -l 127.0.0.1 $iPORT<    "$SI">    "$SO"&
# ncat

     trap exitGraceful SIGINT                                    #
traps ctrl-C to exit this script
     head -n 1 "$SO" | procRequest>    "$SI"
     trap - SIGINT
done

You will probably be happier with this (no while loop):

ncat -l -k $iPORT --sh-exec "cat \"$SI\""

Compare to some examples here:

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?

Thanks,
Dave
