    You may want to check out the following article:

    The section Sample HTTP Exchange could help you getting started. Quoting:

    The server should respond with something like the following, sent back through the same socket:

    HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 1354

<html>
<body>
<h1>Happy New Millennium!</h1>
(more file contents)
  .
  .
  .
</body>
</html>

    After sending the response, the server closes the socket.

    The full protocol is defined in RFC 2616 if you want to get serious about this.
