HTTP-Header Problem

Hi, i'm trying to write some kind of webserver for use in a chatsystem. The HTTP-header sent by browser is fetched with this: $header = trim (socket_read ($this->socket, $server["socket_maxline"])); This works wonderful in most cases, but for some odd reason, Mozilla (1.3) doesn't send any POST-data in the first "wave", so i need to do another socket_read () to get it. Problem: When i add a second socket_read and no data is to be sent by the browser, the script blocks forever.... :-/ Any idea? Thanks, Thomas 'Neo' Weber --- thomas@youngarts.org neo@gothic-chat.de
