Thanks Huck.

I was able to quickly adapt Tybalt89's suggestion in my code. I will give your suggestion a try as well.

Comparing and contrasting different solutions while learning is always helpful. Thanks again

They have a similar base

Mine does a two step between accept and read, a client CAN create the connection and wait a bit before writing, so mine wont block there. But in general http: clients shouldnt matter.

His has a better read, the way i commonly use it is a lot like his, but i just collect data, then have another loop that looks for completed lines so i dont block on the \n. IN both of these examples we block on the \n read, mine till \n, his to blank line.

I added a cmd lookup table for what to execute

I only look at the first line sent.

I added the /null command to show you what might happen if you dont send anything back
