I find that most browsers won’t finalize with the lab’s FreeRTOS_HTTP_server.c as written.

It needs a “Content-Length: 0\r\n” or similar in prvSendReply.

There was a patch like this:

     if( pxClient->pxFileHandle == NULL )
     {
+        strcpy( pxClient->pxParent->pcExtraContents, "Content-Length: 0\r\n" );
         /* "404 File not found". */
         xRc = prvSendReply( pxClient, WEB_NOT_FOUND );
     }
     else
     {
         pxClient->uxBytesLeft = ( size_t ) pxClient->pxFileHandle->ulFileSize;
         xRc = prvSendFile( pxClient );
     }

In other words, the Content-Length was missing in case a file was not found.
This patch does not yet appear in the latest source release.
