I am trying to implement a simple http csharp server which sends a document such as index.html to a the browser when the user connects by connecting via the server IP. I am currently a little confused about how i would go about sending a simple .html document over the web browser so the connecting user can see it.
The outstream is where all the information is being sent to the browser.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;
namespace TCP_Socket
class ConnectionThread
public ConnectionThread(Socket socketToHandleConnection)
connection = socketToHandleConnection;
Socket connection = null; //TCP/IP socket to handle the actual connection
NetworkStream connectionStream = null;
BinaryReader inStream = null;
BinaryWriter outStream = null;
String userName = null;
public void run()
connectionStream = new NetworkStream(connection);
inStream = new BinaryReader(connectionStream);
outStream = new BinaryWriter(connectionStream);
userName = Environment.UserName;
byte b = 0;
String s = ""; //This will contain all the stuff the browser transmitted,
//but "all in one go".
while (connectionStream.DataAvailable)
b = (byte)inStream.ReadSByte();
Console.Out.Write((char)b);
s += (char)b;
String[] items = s.Split();//This will contain all the stuff the browser transmitted,
catch (EndOfStreamException eos)
Console.Out.WriteLine("Unexpected end of stream.");
Console.Out.WriteLine("Error caused by " + eos.Message);
Console.Out.WriteLine("End of stream.");
String stringOut = "HTTP/ 1.1 200 OK\r\n";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = "Content-Type: text/html\r\n";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = "Date: ";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now);
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = "\r\n";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\">\r\n";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = "<html>\r\n";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = "<body>\r\n";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = "Welcome to <strong>" + userName + "'s </strong>primative HTTP server";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
stringOut = "</body></html>\r\n";
outStream.Write(stringOut.ToCharArray());
inStream.Close();
outStream.Flush();
outStream.Close();
connectionStream.Close();
connection.Close();
Console.Out.WriteLine("Done; Connection closed.");
