[cs631apue] Handling telnet vs nc/browsers

[Tejas Nadkarni]

So interesting situation - our code works with browsers and nc since they
place the entire request into the initial buffer and I can parse that
appropriately including carriage returns. However with telnet, hitting
return closes the read request and I have to read again for the next line,
etc.

So while it works perfectly for browsers/nc it processes on the first
return from telnet so can't support headers (while it does for nc/browsers).

Any ideas from others how to work around this? Would it make sense to
detect the client connecting to the socket and change behavior
appropriately?
