Sorry, but when I copy and paste it from the editor in here, it's
probably much more messy as when I align it on the left side.

Ok, I'll keep it in my mind.

Actually that's what I want to do. It should be more a Chat server
instead of a http server.

That's what I want to try next, but I want to make it step by step.

By the way. Your code seems to work, thanks for it. But there is
something I don't understand:
When I connect to the server, I don't get the Welcoming Message, but the
">"-sign of the code appears, which means that I'm able to type and send.
When I write the first sentence and send it, I finally get the welcoming
message after this first sentence, but moreover, the errormessage
"recv() in FD_ISSET: Resource temporarily unavailable" appears.
Probably there is still something wrong in my code, but I think I can
find the mistake by myself.

Best Regards,
