Re: [lwip-users] LW IP - TCP instantaneous data transmission

[Mike Fleetwood]

Hi,

Might I add a suggestion from my experience?

I also have a system with limited memory availability.  When my system needs to serve a web page, I serve most of it in chunks from ROM, constructung the variable parts in memory when needed.

The page server includes multiple function calls, as below:

  netconn_write(thisconn, http_page_start, strlen(http_page_start), NETCONN_NOCOPY);
  netconn_write(thisconn, http_page_style_open, strlen(http_page_style_open), NETCONN_NOCOPY);

where the macros "http_page_start" etc. are defined constant strings containing several lines of html.

I find this method uses very little memory, no matter how big the eventual page served is.

Hope this is useful.

Regards,

Mike Fleetwood.

Hi Anand,

I do not know what HTTP server you use but what I sent earlier is just a skeleton or pseudo code

for you to get an idea on how to send a large buffer in chunks.

If you cannot send the hole buffer (make sense) and you are limited with memory you must wait

for the TCP stack to free the buffer it used to send your data before you can send more. Here comes

the sent call back in hand... it synchronizes sending and freeing of memory.

Do you understand that  ?

Try and follow the code I wrote in an earlier reply.

Good luck,

Noam.

I'm afraid I don't really understand your questions. As Noam said, have
a look at the http server, I guess you can learn everything you need
from there.
