server crashes with certain image/media payloads

[mattfeury]

hi! thanks for this server. it is really impressive and helpful.

i'm trying to set it up to send some media data to a device via a POST. i'm able to make an empty file of X bytes and send it successfully:

$ mkfile -n 76369 76369.txt
$ curl -X POST -v --data-binary @76369.txt  "http://192.168.7.58:9000/"
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.
*   Trying 192.168.7.58...

Hello, World!* Closing connection 0

however. when i try to do this same request with a .png, .jpeg, .mkv, etc, i will often see failures. below is a file of the same size:

$ curl -X POST -v --data-binary @image.jpg  "http://192.168.7.58:9000/"
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

any thoughts as to why this is happening and how i can fix? maybe a character encoding issue?

thanks!

Sorry for the late response. I'd be curious to know more but I can't reproduce the issue. Do you have a file that you wouldn't mind sharing that can reproduce the problem?

Cloud be that https://github.com/jeremycw/httpserver.h/pull/53 solves this issue.
