It's amazing how little code it takes to write a functioning web server these days. Consider the old MFC samples for comparison.
You might consolidate your text file parsing code. The whole semicolon searching system is pretty generic. Or go with XML like you said.
You should support the HEAD verb b/c dropping the connection when it's not a GET request will anger many browsers in terms of caching.
You shouldn't read the whole file into memory using a string concatenation loop. The socket class probably has a method to efficiently transmit an entire file. If it doesn't, you should have your loop read a little and write a little, otherwise those multi-megabyte flash and BMP and MP3 files will start to kill your server. -
Even though I am only a VB.NET programer,
I still understood all the code.

How about the POST type,
I noticed that when client send a POST type,

Hehe, I moved permanently to C# only a month or 2 after
creating this thread

I now have trouble reading VB code. Array access looks like
function calls, etc...

This code has no entry point. When compiling, I only get "error CS5001: Program 'c:\MyWebServer\MyWebServer.exe' does not have an entry point defined". I know that it is looking for a "Main()", but I am pretty much a newbie, and I don't know where to add that.

How do you extend this to enable HTTP data compression?
header:
content-encoding=gzip -
I was looking for a web server and came across a couple of other options, of course there is cassni / aka webdev but i tried this http://www.neokernel.com server because it seemed to have good samples for how to configure it for ssl, passwords, etc.
