I am trying to retrieve xml file that is accessible on my tclhttpd
server. I use .net for it (I hate .net but our customers seems to like
it). .net complains that tclhttpd committed http violation. the error
is:
Message	"The underlying connection was closed: The server committed an
HTTP protocol violation."
I looked at tclhttpd headers and they look fine. I googled and found
suggestions but none helped.
does anybody know what http protocol violation tclhttpd commits?



I suggest you log the traffic. sockspy can help you with this. Then
you could post the traffic (minus the document body) from each side.

I already have dealt with this problem. I didn't really see any protocol violation, but I don't have sockspy logs anymore.

Anyway the best solution is to switch to HTTP/1.0, a flag in .net HttpWebRequest class allows that.

But I'd much rather see tclhttpd fixed since that may cause problems with .net http communication for a lot of people. And some non-open source code may cause problems as well.

The worst thing is that normally .net classes are hard to debug. I thought of writing a simple http server to answer in the exact same way and do the try-all-other-possibilities of how to respond.

I remember seeing "HTTP/1.1 100 Expect" line, which was a bit odd for me.
