hi,i want to try to host a website with processing but i can’t send file
```auto
import processing.net.*;
Server myServer;
PrintWriter test;
void setup() {
size(200, 200);
// Starts a myServer on port 5204
myServer = new Server(this, 5204);
println("ip: " + Server.ip() + ":5204");
test = createWriter("untest.html");
test.println("lolol");
test.close();
}
void draw() {
Client client = myServer.available();
if(client != null)
{
client.write(test);
}
}
```

You could use loadStrings() to convert the file into an array of strings, combine all the parts of the array into one String, and then send that string.

first i try like
```auto
import processing.net.*;
Server myServer;
int port = 5204;
//PrintWriter test;
void setup() {
size(200, 200);
myServer = new Server(this, port);
println("ip: " + Server.ip() + ":"+port);
// test = createWriter("/data/index.html");
// test.println("lolol");
// test.close();
}
void draw() {
Client client = myServer.available();
if(client != null)
{
client.write(":-)");
myServer.disconnect(client);
}
}
```
and “inspect” the result,
as all i write is wrapped in a html page and inside
```auto
:-)
```
i could not send any further “html code”

I know that works if you just use processing, but i don’t know how you would do that with chrome.

yay this code work 🙂
```auto
import processing.net.*;
Server myServer;
PrintWriter test;
void setup() {
size(200, 200);
// Starts a myServer on port 5204
myServer = new Server(this, 5204);
println("ip: " + Server.ip() + ":5204");
}
void draw() {
Client client = myServer.available();
if(client != null)
{
println(client.readString());
println("-------------------------------");
println(client.ip());
client.write("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n");
client.write("Content-Length: 124\r\n");
client.write("Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n");
client.write("a titleHi!

should not the 124 in
```auto
client.write("Content-Length: 124\r\n");
```
match the chars in
```auto
client.write("a titleHi!
");
```
? CHROME / inspect / console / ERROR
so i use [this](http://kll.engineering-news.org/kllfusion01/downloads/processing_webserver.pde.txt)
not only ( make and ) send a **/data/index.html** file,
also can send a **/data/favicon.ico** file
