Well, here's a question I have come across and have also failed to figure it out - when I open a connection to my webserver, I send the "GET /example/example.exe HTTP/1.1" request along with all the other required header requests, the server then begins to send me the file, and just freezes after sending one chunk of data.
I keep hearing that this freeze is because I need to send back a confirmation to say that I have successfully received the chunk of data. After this confirmation, the server will then begin to transfer the next chunk of data.
I'm reasonably new to the HTTP protocal, I've been fine all along but this topic has confused me.
Does anyone know exactly how HTTP File Downloads work?
