TCP socket hangs when reading response from custom HTTP request - C

Question

I have the following code that I have written which is suppose to send a simple http request over a TCP socket, I get a response but as soon as I try to read in the loop it hangs, in the 2nd read operation (tried it manually)

if anyone has an idea of why this might fail I will appreciate it a lot

attached below is the entire code

I am running the program like this: ./http_client yahoo.com

I get this response text at first:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Sat, 06 Aug 2022 08:07:11 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
Server: ATS
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Language: en
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Location: https://www.yahoo.com/
Content-Length: 8

redirect

and then it hangs and closes the socket, it shouldn't hang at all, it should run and exit without a delay or anything
