Below is the meta refresh code with the refresh delay set to 0. I think it has been mentioned that the get request may be large. I think there is a limit to the number of bytes in a get request. What do the large get request look like?
Zoomkat. Thanks for the meta refresh code. I have had 3 browser instances running on separate machines with no problems. So I've convinced myself that the ethernet library can handle more than one GET at the same time.
I do see problems when the GETs are larger and the GET processing time is longer. An example of a larger GET is
GET / HTTP/1.1

This the sort of GET IE generates at times !!!! and I think these cause problems for the ethernet library.
I have a question about the handling of client.stop()
In many ethernet library examples there is a chunk of code
// give the web browser time to receive the data
delay(1);
// close the connection:
client.stop();
What is the real purpose of the delay(1) ? How is the length of the delay required calculated ? And what happens if the delay is not enough??
It seems to me like a very crude way to handle waiting for the W5100 TX buffer to clear.
