POCurl sending blank header(testing Java web server)

Body
copied!<p>I am testing my web server by sending it requests from cURL. When I send this command:</p> <pre><code>curl -H "_ADD_CLASS*21112*ab*https://somewebsite" 127.0.0.1:12345 </code></pre> <p>to my server, I get this in my Java Socket</p> <pre><code>GET / HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: curl/7.24.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.0) libcurl/7.24.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5 Host: 127.0.0.1:12345 Accept: */* _ADD_CLASS*21112*ab*https://somewebsite </code></pre> <p>This is what I was expecting.</p> <p>When I send this request to my server using cURL though, it does not send the header for some reason:</p> <pre><code>curl -H "REMOVE_CLASS*21111*a" 127.0.0.1:12345 GET / HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: curl/7.24.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.0) libcurl/7.24.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5 Host: 127.0.0.1:12345 Accept: */* "" (as shown in java) </code></pre> <p>Any idea why the second request is showing up as ""? Here is some code:</p> <pre><code>private static void handleRequest(Socket socket) throws IOException { BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream())); String socketData = null; String[] commands; while (br.ready()) { socketData = br.readLine(); //parse command if (socketData.compareTo("") == 0) { //Log error break; }else { if (socketData.charAt(0) != '_') continue; commands = socketData.split("\\*"); if (commands[0].compareTo("_ADD_CLASS") == 0) { //syntax is ADD_CLASS*CRN*TOKEN*WEB_ADDRESS socket.close(); addClass(commands[1], commands[2], commands[3]); break; }else if(commands[0].compareTo("_REMOVE_CLASS") == 0) { //syntax is REMOVE_CLASS*CRN*TOKEN socket.close(); removeClass(commands[1], commands[2]); break; }else if(commands[0].compareTo("_UPDATE_TOKEN") == 0) { //syntax is UPDATE_TOKEN*OLD_TOKEN*NEW_TOKEN socket.close(); updateDeviceToken(commands[1], commands[2]); break; }else { //log error } } } socket.close(); } </code></pre>
