The while as you noted is wrong. The server also doesn't turn REUSEADDR on for the server socket, so this will be very annoying to test as you'll frequently get "address already in use" errors when you restart the server. The delimited string leads to your last problem: a blank space between the headers and the body of the response results in "\r\n \r\n" being sent rather than "\r\n\r\n", so the browser gives up on the invalid HTTP.
This works if you're careful to not re-add any stray whitespace in the response:
import std.socket, std.array;
ushort port = 8080;
void main() {
Socket listener = new TcpSocket;
listener.bind(new InternetAddress(port));
listener.setOption(SocketOptionLevel.SOCKET, SocketOption.REUSEADDR, 1);
listener.listen(10);
Socket currSock;
while (null !is (currSock = listener.accept())) {
currSock.sendTo(replace(q"EOF
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
<html>
<head><title>Hello, world!</title></head>
<body>Hello, world!</body>
</html>
EOF", "\n", "\r\n"));
currSock.close();
}
}
Personally I'd prefer something more like:
import std.socket : Socket, TcpSocket, SocketOption, SocketOptionLevel, InternetAddress;
import std.array : replace, array;
import std.algorithm : map, joiner;
import std.string : splitLines, strip;
import std.conv : to;
ushort port = 8080;
// dfmt off
static const greeting = q"EOF
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
<html>
<head><title>Hello, world!</title></head>
<body>Hello, world!</body>
</html>
EOF"
.splitLines
.map!strip
.joiner("\r\n")
.to!string;
// dfmt on
void main() {
import std.stdio : writefln;
Socket listener = new TcpSocket;
listener.bind(new InternetAddress(port));
listener.setOption(SocketOptionLevel.SOCKET, SocketOption.REUSEADDR, 1);
listener.listen(10);
writefln!"Listening on port %d."(port);
while (true) {
scope client = listener.accept;
writefln!"Received connection from %s."(client.remoteAddress.toString);
client.send(greeting);
client.close;
}
}
But this still violates HTTP by not receiving the client's request, so it's still not a good answer for the task. A vibe hello world would make a lot more sense:

You're in the right place.
