If a HEAD request was sent to PoorMan, for example from curl
("curl --HEAD http://x.x.x.x") then the client would hang due to the connection
never being closed.
In PoorManServer::_Worker, after httpd_start_request() is called, a null
file_address is used to detect when libhttpd has already sent a directory
listing. In this situation, PoorMan assumes libhttpd already fully handled the
request. However httpd_start_request() didn't properly set this flag for HEAD
requests. In the if block for a null file_address, the file descriptor was
incorrectly invalidated, which prevented the connection from closing. Fixing
this revealed two more bugs. The first is libhttpd was not actually sending
the http headers for HEAD directory listing requests. The second is
PoorManServer would increment its hit count for HEAD directory listing
requests. This change also refactors file_address to a more sensible name and
type that reflects its use.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
