Re: [libmicrohttpd] MJPEG streaming using MHD : only first frame displayed in client

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi!

I believe the problem is that your boundary is set to
"--MyBoundary\r\nContent-Type: ..." which works fine for the first
frame, but because the JPG doesn't (usually) end with "\r\n" this is not
a valid boundary for the subsequent frames.  You need to use
"\r\n--MyBoundary\r\nContent-Type: ..." so that the browser detects the
boundary correctly.

At least that's my best guess right now.  Generally, you should probably
use wireshark to look at the HTTP stream that you're generating, that
way you can likely tell yourself if it looks 'correct'.

Happy hacking!
