I say this in the most constructive way, learn how to program in C and then learn how to program client/server applications and then learn the HTTP protocol.

Line 8 is wrong.

Man, the way read and send data I belive is wrong

I don't know if the rules of here can post external links of tutorials.

I used this tutorial to learn how create a server with C.

I hope that help you
