PRB: Data Loss Using Local HTTP Server and Browser

ID: Q244403

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Operating System, versions 2.11, 2.12

SYMPTOMS

This article provides a workaround for data loss that can occur when an HTTP server is run locally with a browser under Windows CE 2.11. The data loss may be observed as partial files when accessing HTML files using a local HTTP server.

CAUSE

Although the problem cannot be consistently reproduced, related TCP/IP problems are associated with the implementation of the stack.

RESOLUTION

Data loss can be corrected with a workaround. When creating a Web server application add a Sleep() function to suspend execution before calls to the closesocket() function.

STATUS

Related bugs for TCP/IP problems are documented.
