You could google how to do a simple fork server in c/c++ and after you have that working you just need to do something like this: stringstream response; response << "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" << "Server: BTB Auction Updater 1.0\r\n" << "X-Powered-By:BTB Update Engine\r\n" << "Content-Length: " << msg.length() << "\r\n" << "Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n" << msg; `int n = write(s, response.str().c_str(), response.str().length()); if(n < 0) error("Error writing to socket");` to write back a valid header that a browser will understand

You could store the static (non-changing) text in a couple of C strings and then call writev() to communicate everything. That would save you the step of continuously reconstructing the header.

Thanks for the suggestion!
