I am trying to implement an HTTP Server using Sockets. If the Client (For example a browser) requests a directory the server displays a list of available files. The problem arises when the client is requesting a file. I get the following error:

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(Native Method)
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(SocketOutputStream.java:113)
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.write(SocketOutputStream.java:159)
at cf.charly1811.java.web.RequestHandler.writeFile(RequestHandler.java:152)
at cf.charly1811.java.web.RequestHandler.processRequest(RequestHandler.java:139)
at cf.charly1811.java.web.RequestHandler.handleRequest(RequestHandler.java:110)
at cf.charly1811.java.web.RequestHandler.run(RequestHandler.java:86)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

The stacktrace shows that the problem is coming from the writeFile() methods:

private void writeFile(File request) throws IOException 
{
    InputStream byteReader = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(request));
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    int bytesRead;
    while ((bytesRead = byteReader.read(buffer)) != -1) 
    {
        outputStream.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
    }
    byteReader.close();
}

But I can't figure out what's wrong. Can you help me?
