get stuck in the recv function.


I suspect that none of the suggestions in the other post are going to help with this.

Your design is wrong. The message flow looks like this.
- Client- Open socket (server accepts)
- Client- Send request
- Server- Sends response
- Client- Read request
- Client- Closes socket

Notice in the above the server does nothing to terminate the message stream. The client is responsible, not the server.

So recv() sits there waiting for a message that the server will never send.

The HTTP protocol defines a request and then a response.

You however are not following that protocol. At a minimum you are missing the following
1 - You are not checking for a HTTP error code.
2 - You are not reading the 'content-length' header attribute.
3 - You are not looking for the response body.

If you were doing the second then you would use that to read to the end of the message using the content-length. That specifically defines how many bytes the server should send in the response body

Additionally there are additional error conditions that good code must expect
- The content-length might be missing. Invalid HTTP but one must still anticipate that.
- The content-length is too long. Very difficult to deal with. And it still results in the problem you are seeing. So you must add a timeout. Google for how to do that.

What about if the content-length is too short? Myself I just ignore that case. Because in most cases content-length will always be right. And too short might lead to other problems but you have no way to detect that unless you always do a timeout read, and that will slow the application to no point (again because it almost always will be right.)
