title: Writing html file back to browser : Java
body: <p>I've read a request for an HTML document from my browser, parsed the file from the request, found the specified file, and now all that's left is to send back the contents of the HTML file to the browser. What I'm currently doing seems like it should work just fine, however, the contents of the HTML file are not received by the browser.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void sendResponse(File resource){
          System.out.println(resource.getAbsolutePath());
  
          Scanner fileReader;
          try {
              fileReader = new Scanner(resource);
  
              while(fileReader.hasNext()){
                  socketWriter.println(fileReader.nextLine());
              }
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
              System.out.println("File not found!");
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing incorrectly? There is no exception thrown, but the browser just keeps loading and loading.</p>
