Arduino Ethercard - return content of website - c

I am trying to access a website, and then return whatever it outputs in the body -> eg. "Success" or "Failed".
When I try with my code, I am getting the following back.
<<< REQ >>>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2014 17:36:31 GMT

If all you want to know is whether the HTTP transaction succeeded or failed, then you need to examine the HTTP Response code... which is in the first line of the response. In your example it is "200"... the human readable interpretation of it is "OK".
Here is a link to most of the HTTP 1.1 response codes: w3.org-rfc2616 RespCodes
Your question indicated you wanted to extract this information from the "body"...
... but that information is not located in the "body", it is in the first response
header, as described above.

have you tried ethercard samples? there is a webclient sample, in which you can find procedure called CALLBACK - in that procedure you can process data stored in buf variable.
in your case you need to look for first empty line, which tells you that headers has been sent and page content(what php writes to the page i.e.) follows.
how familiar are you at pointers? how deep you do need to process the page output? i.e. OK or ERROR is enough, or you do need to pass same parameters back to duino?

413 Request is larger than 20 MB or headers are too large. websolr

Getting error on SOLR for GET request Request is larger than 20 MB or headers are too large. Please reduce the size of your request and try again, or contact support#websolr.com with a sample of your request for further assistance.
Sample request below:
removing curl request due to security reason
Response:
HTTP/2 413
date: Thu, 06 May 2021 16:25:31 GMT
content-type: application/json
content-length: 218
{"code":413,"message":"Request is larger than 20 MB or headers are too large. Please reduce the size of your request and try again, or contact support#websolr.com with a sample of your request for further assistance."}
I am not sure how the request become more than 20MB. Also send nothing on header.
Websolr support here. When you pass those query parameters in the curl command, they are part of the Request-Line header. There are over 5900 characters in that line, which is what's triggering the HTTP 413.
As a workaround, just use a POST:
curl -i "removing data due to security reason"

CURL and my little http client give different results

I have this little C program implementing a HTTP client. Basically I used this reference code with slight modifications, mainly for debugging.
My problem is, that the content I get back using this is not quite the same as I get when I use curl for example.
Basically what the code does is:
Construct a HTTP headers for a GET request
Establishes TCP connection with the server
Sends the HTTP headers
Receives back a response
The read part looks like this:
while((recived_len = recv(sock, BUF, BUFSIZ-1, 0)) > 0)
{
BUF[recived_len] = '\0';
response = (char*)realloc(response, strlen(response) + strlen(BUF) + 1);
sprintf(response, "%s%s", response, BUF);
}
In particular, I always get in the begining of the body part 4 bytes which I don't understand where they come from:

The headers part looks fine, so I don't think it's a problem with the resquet's headers, and also the beggining of the content (except from these 4 bytes) looks fine. However, down the stream things get messier and it gets quite different from the curl response, which seems much more reasonable.
Can someone tell me why this happening?
If I try to send a GET request to
EDIT
OK thanks I understand this 4 bytes are the length of the Chunk, since the Transfer-Encoding is of type chunk. From what I've read here about it, chunks should be sent one after another, with each one preceded by (or followed by, depending from where you look) \r\n<chunk_length>\r\n
Basically what I'm trying to do is implement a MP3 player, so I want to be able to read a stream of MP3 from a streaming server and play it.
When I use curl to get the stream, I can play it. I can even see that the data is sent in chunks as described above.
However, when I use my program, the data I'm getting is for some reason not structured properly..
My final goal in all this is to use ESP8266 module as a Radio player. I try to understand all the moving parts that should be involved in order to make this work. First I want to implement this on my PC before I move to working on the ESP8266
EDIT #2
Thanks to #Emanuel P I noticed that I get back from the server content type of text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1, so I added a Content-Type: */* just as curl does, and I do get back a Content-Type: audio/mpeg, as expected, but it still doesn't work for some reason - the MP3 player doesn't read the file well:
$ ./mp3player.out stream.mp3
Note: Illegal Audio-MPEG-Header 0x04e248be at offset 2258.
Note: Trying to resync...
Note: Skipped 87 bytes in input.
Warning: Big change from first (MPEG version, layer, rate). Frankenstein stream?

Raw http server: send image issue

I'am working with kind of IoT device. Finaly I've got simple httpd server to work, and simple html pages works like a charm, but browser does not recognise images. I think this is http header issue, but i do not know what is exacly wrong.
For example, my test page look like this:
<html>
<head><title>test page</title></head>
<body>
hello world!
<img src="img.png">
</body>
</html>
If i go to http://de.vi.ce.ip/ 2 reqests are generated:
GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n
Accept text/html, application/xhtml+xml, */*\r\n
Accept-Language: en-EN\r\n
...
GET /img.png HTTP/1.1\r\n
Accept image/png, image/svg+xml, image/*;q=0.8, */*;q=0.5\r\n
Accept-Language: en-EN\r\n
...
To witch my server responds with:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n
Content-Type: text/html\r\n
Content-Length: 131\r\n
\r\n
<page data>
HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n
Content-Type: image/png\r\n
Content-Length: 5627\r\n
\r\n
<image binary data>
As the result i can see the text, but images are broken.
I've tryed few more parameters like Connection: close, Accept-Ranges: bytes, Content-Location (path).
I've tryed jpeg image under Content-Type: image/jpeg with no luck. I'am certain that image sent correctly.
I've made exactly the same - raw http server for IoT and your response looks absolutely correct. Try check following:
You correctly flush the socket before closing it. If you call close() right after send(), you will likely encounter this problem - data has not been correctly written
The Content-Length should be exactly the size of your file. Make sure you are not counting \r\n bytes of http response. Browser may still wait for tail bytes
Finally, get the browser network logs :)
The request is asking for png
GET /img.png HTTP/1.1\r\n
Why not return the correct content type;
Content-Type: image/png\r\n
I was running into a very similar problem.
In my case when I thought I was using \r\n line terminators, I was actually only using \n; which worked fine in chromium for serving the text/html page, but was throwing net::ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE error when serving the image/jpeg. So the page loaded, but the images were broken.
My fix was to make sure that everything was using \r\n as it was supposed to.

HTTP POST mutli part "BAD REQUEST"

I'm trying to upload a file using POST
here's my request :
POST /upload.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------552335022525
Content-Length: 192
-----------------------------552335022525
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="userfile"; filename="12.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain
blabla
-----------------------------552335022525--
Using HTTP live headers firefox plugin everything works
but when putting it a char *buffer and send it with winsocksapi I get 400 Bad Request error
You need a blank line between the headers and the payload.
Content-Length: 192
-----------------------------552335022525
This is part of the HTTP protocol. HTTP request headers end with the first empty line (CR-LF by itself.) What you are sending is resulting in the string
-----------------------------552335022525
being taken (along with the following two lines) as a request header which, of course, it isn't. The server can't make head or tail of that, so it responds with 400 Bad Request.
Also, sending the Content-length is not necessary with multipart/form-data, nor even a good idea, as the wrong value could create problems. The MIME multipart format is self describing.

How to define received datatype, in backbone.js fetch()?

fetch data from server returns me json data as a string datatype rather than as application/json datatype, as a result the collection does not get refreshed.
I have tried giving the jquery.ajax option contentType:"application/json" to the fetch options, but still does not work.
how can i make it work? do i send a mimetype from the server? if so, how?
i am using json_encode on the data sent.
preloader.fetch({
contentType:'application/json'
});
preloader is an instance of my collection.
edit:
my template for a subview was not getting detected as i had kept it out of the masterview's $el element, corrected it, and now i am getting underscore.js error, that
str is null in
str.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\') //at line 913
is this because the backbone app is not taking it as a json object?
Request headers
Connection close
Content-Type text/html
Date Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:00:58 GMT
Server Apache
Transfer-Encoding chunked
Vary Accept-Encoding
Response headers
has the line
Accept application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01
means it is a json, then what is the problem?
I think the contentType option is for the request (your request).
Try dataType:"json".
