thanks for looking & solving. Yes I see now the recv loop should read a stream and work out when to stop pulling more bytes from recv(), In my full code I extract the chucked hex later for decompressing gzip, I'll have to read the header & chunk in the while(recv loop.

When i read about keep-alive I believe the Apache server is meant to wait for timout of at least 5 seconds (after handling a request), but my recv loop finishes pretty instantly after recieving 3-4 HTTP packets for the entire gzip webpage (in my full code).

I'm guessing somehow the server sees a request for more information and Apache has code to detect clients with while(recv() != 0).

NAME
Net::recv - Recieve data from a connection. SYNOPSIS
String recv( NetHandle h, Int maxlen=-1, Int timeout=0 ) ARGUMENTS
h The connection maxlen The maximum number of bytes to read (or unlimited, if negative). For TLS connections, this is always unlimited. Note that if the data to be received contains multi-byte characters, care must be taken to avoid ending receiving part-way through a multi-byte character. timeout The number of seconds to wait without input before timing out. The default is zero. For TLS connections, this parameter is ignored. DESCRIPTION
Reads up to maxlen bytes from the connection, and times out after timeout seconds. AUTHORS
