libsoup server

[Dennis Jacobfeuerborn <d jacobfeuerborn conversis de>]

Hi!
I'm trying to build a small server using libsoup but seem to get into 
trouble early on. The following app seems to listen on port 8888 just fine 
but when I send a request with Firefox sits there saying "Waiting for 
localhost..." and nothing happens:

int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
    g_type_init();
    g_thread_init(NULL);
    SoupServer *soup_server = soup_server_new(SOUP_SERVER_PORT , 8888, NULL);
    soup_server_run(soup_server);
    return 0;
}

Using strace on this app results in the following output:

fcntl64(6, F_GETFL)                     = 0x802 (flags O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)
read(6, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost:"..., 8192) = 396
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
write(6, "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\n\r\n", 26) = 26
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_DFL}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
read(6, 0x83717a0, 8192)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)

So it seems libsoup is sending out the expected 404 error (since no handler 
is defined) but for some reason the response doesn't arrive at the other 
end. Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Regards,
