I am working on a Java application which has a built in HTTP server, at the moment the server is implemented using ServerSocketChannel, it listens on port 1694 for requests:
msvrCh = ServerSocketChannel.open();
msvrCh.socket().bind(new InetSocketAddress(mintPort));
msvrCh.configureBlocking(false);
A thread is installed to manage requests and responses:
Thread thrd = new Thread(msgReceiver);
thrd.setUncaughtExceptionHandler(exceptionHandler);
thrd.start();
The thread is quite simple:
Runnable msgReceiver = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try{
while( !Thread.interrupted() ) {
//Sleep a short period between checks for new requests
try{
Thread.sleep(DELAY_BETWEEN_ACCEPTS);
} catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
SocketChannel cliCh = msvrCh.accept();
if ( blnExit() == true ) {
break;
}
if ( cliCh == null ) {
continue;
}
processRequest(cliCh.socket());
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
logMsg(TERMINATING_THREAD +
"for accepting cluster connections", true);
if ( msvrCh != null ) {
try {
msvrCh.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
msvrCh = null;
}
}
}
};
The main bulk of the code for dealing with the response is in the function processRequest:
private void processRequest(Socket sck) {
try {
//AJAX Parameters
final String AJAX_ID = "ajmid";
//The 'Handler Key' used to decode response
final String HANDLER_KEY = "hkey";
//Message payload
final String PAYLOAD = "payload";
//Post input buffer size
final int REQUEST_BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;
//Double carriage return marks the end of the headers
final String CRLF = "\r\n";
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sck.getInputStream()));
String strAMID = null, strHKey = null, strRequest;
char[] chrBuffer = new char[REQUEST_BUFFER_SIZE];
StringBuffer sbRequest = new StringBuffer();
eMsgTypes eType = eMsgTypes.UNKNOWN;
clsHTTPparameters objParams = null;
int intPos, intCount;
//Extract the entire request, including headers
if ( (intCount = in.read(chrBuffer)) == 0 ) {
throw new Exception("Cannot read request!");
}
sbRequest.append(chrBuffer, 0, intCount);
strRequest = sbRequest.toString();
//What method is being used by this request?
if ( strRequest.startsWith(HTTP_GET) ) {
//The request should end with a HTTP marker, remove this before trying to interpret the data
if ( strRequest.indexOf(HTTP_MARKER) != -1 ) {
strRequest = strRequest.substring(0, strRequest.indexOf(HTTP_MARKER)).trim();
}
//Look for a data marker
if ( (intPos = strRequest.indexOf(HTTP_DATA_START)) >= 0 ) {
//Data is present in the query, skip to the start of the data
strRequest = strRequest.substring(intPos + 1);
} else {

}
} else if ( strRequest.startsWith(HTTP_POST) ) {

}

I would like to implemented a chunked response, at present chunked responses are not supported by the code above.
[Edit] I've tried to implement a chunked response by adding the method:
/**
* @param strData - The data to split into chunks
* @return A string array containing the chunks
*/
public static String[] arystrChunkData(String strData) {
int intChunks = (strData.length() / CHUNK_THRESHOLD_BYTESIZE) + 1;
String[] arystrChunks = new String[intChunks];
int intLength = strData.length(), intPos = 0;
for( int c=0; c<arystrChunks.length; c++ ) {
if ( intPos < intLength ) {
//Extract a chunk from the data
int intEnd = Math.min(intLength - 1, intPos + CHUNK_THRESHOLD_BYTESIZE);
arystrChunks[c] = strData.substring(intPos, intEnd);
}
//Advance data position to next chunk
intPos += CHUNK_THRESHOLD_BYTESIZE;
}
return arystrChunks;
}
The modified processRequest now looks like this:
private void processRequest(Socket sck) {
try {
//AJAX Parameters
final String AJAX_ID = "ajmid";
//The 'Handler Key' used to decode response
final String HANDLER_KEY = "hkey";

clsHTTPparameters objParams = null;
int intPos, intCount;
//Extract the entire request, including headers
if ( (intCount = in.read(chrBuffer)) == 0 ) {
throw new Exception("Cannot read request!");
}
sbRequest.append(chrBuffer, 0, intCount);
strRequest = sbRequest.toString();

if ( strRequest.startsWith(HTTP_GET) ) {
//The request should end with a HTTP marker, remove this before trying to interpret the data

strRequest = strRequest.substring(intPos + 1);

//Remove the method indicator

}

I've read several specifications for Chunked responses and as far as I can tell I am sending data in the correct format, however I don't receive anything in the browser.
I may have wrongly assume that the browser would correctly piece together the chunks into one, but I could be wrong. The client side handler looks like this:
this.responseHandler = function() {
try {
if ( mobjHTTP == null
|| !(mobjHTTP.readyState == 4 && mobjHTTP.status == 200)
|| !(mstrResponseText = mobjHTTP.responseText)
|| mstrResponseText.length == 0 ) {
//Not ready or no response to decode
return;
}
//Do something with the response
} catch( ex ) {
T.error("responseHandler:", ex);
}
};
This handler is set-up elsewhere in the object:
mobjHTTP.onreadystatechange = this.responseHandler;
455
Solved, not sure why, but removing the header:
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
And also the chunk lengths at the beginning of each chunk resolved the issue, I still write the data in 768 byte chunks. This works reliably and very well.
Not sure why I had to do this.
Final method to produce chunks from data string:
public static String[] arystrChunkData(String strData) {
int intChunks = (strData.length() / CHUNK_THRESHOLD_BYTESIZE) + 1;
String[] arystrChunks = new String[intChunks];
int intLength = strData.length(), intPos = 0;
for( int c=0; c<arystrChunks.length; c++ ) {
if ( intPos < intLength ) {
//Extract a chunk from the data
int intEnd = Math.min(intLength, intPos + CHUNK_THRESHOLD_BYTESIZE);
arystrChunks[c] = strData.substring(intPos, intEnd);
intPos = intEnd;
}
}
return arystrChunks;
}
Loop to write chunks, no lengths at the beginning and no 0 byte at the end of the chunks required:
String[] arystrChunks = arystrChunkData(strResponse);
for( String strChunk : arystrChunks ) {
if ( strChunk != null ) {
out.write(strChunk.getBytes());
}
}
