XAMPP not responding to GET method

[jguillor]

Hi, I'm doing some development on a bluetooth device where we send HTTP methods to a web server. I've installed XAMPP 1.8.3-4 on an Unbuntu 12.04 machine. I've updated the httpd-xampp.conf file to allow connections from external networks. I verified I can access the web server from another machine on a different network just fine through a browser.

For my development, I'm sending a very simple HTTP GET request as formatted below but I'm not getting anything back from the server. I'm more of an embedded developer and don't know to much about web programming. Any input would be greatly appreciated.


GET / HTTP/1.1
Host:
Connection: close


Thanks!

As the server answers properly to any request coming from a browser, there must be something wrong in your request. You did not tell us anything about HOW you triggered this request.

I'm using the lwIP TCP/IP stack to create and connect through a socket and send tcp packets.

I think I'm actually having networking issues as it seems I'm not able to access my web server if connected to the wifi network.

I don't believe it's an issue with the my request message since www.google.com and www.facebook.com both respond.

Thanks for the quick response!
