Problem Getting HTML Response Header

Hey guys I am kinda new to the network programming scene so forgive the bad style, anyways I can't seem to find out how to recv() the Response header with Content-Length so I know how many bytes to recv() with the socket to get the whole page (I don't want to have to read it in one byte at a time). I have used both GET / and HEAD / in my request to the server, I do get a header and some of the actual html but I am not getting the Content-Length. If someone can give me a few pointers on how to grab it using a socket ("Not a link to beej's programming guide") It would be much appreciated.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

const char *pServer = "www.google.com";
const char *pPort = "80";

int Receive(int sock, char *pLine, unsigned int line_size) {
char byte = 0;

while (byte != '\n' && strlen(pLine) < line_size) {
if (!recv(sock, (char *) &byte, 1, 0))
return 0;

if (byte != '\r' && byte != '\n' && byte != '\0') {
strncat(pLine, &byte, 1);
}
}

printf("pLine\r\n%s\r\n", pLine);

if (!recv(sock, pLine, 3604, 0)) {
perror("recv()");
} else {
printf("<< Recieved: %s\r\n", pLine);
}

return 0;
}

int main() {
struct addrinfo hints, *res;
int sock, status;
char ipstr[INET6_ADDRSTRLEN], *ipver;
void *addr;

memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
hints.ai_family = AF_UNSPEC;
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;


if ((status = getaddrinfo(pServer, pPort, &hints, &res)) != 0) {
printf("GetAddrInfo: %s\n", gai_strerror(status));
return 2;
}

printf("Ip for %s\r\n", pServer);

if (res->ai_family == AF_INET) { // IPv4
struct sockaddr_in *ipv4 = (struct sockaddr_in *)res->ai_addr;
addr = &(ipv4->sin_addr);
ipver = "IPv4";
} else { // IPv6
struct sockaddr_in6 *ipv6 = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)res->ai_addr;
addr = &(ipv6->sin6_addr);
ipver = "IPv6";
}

// Convert IP To string and print
inet_ntop(res->ai_family, addr, ipstr, sizeof(ipstr));
printf(" %s: %s\r\n", ipver, ipstr);

// Create the socket
sock = socket(res->ai_family, res->ai_socktype, res->ai_protocol);
if (sock == -1) {
perror("Socket()");
return 1;
} else {
printf("- Socket created\r\n");
}

// Connect with socket to server
if ((connect(sock, res->ai_addr, res->ai_addrlen)) != 0) {
perror("Connect()");
return 1;
} else {
printf("- Con Success\r\n");
}
// Send Message to Server
char buffer[3604], *Msg = "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.google.org\r\n\r\n";

if ((send(sock, Msg, strlen(Msg), 0)) == -1) {
perror("send()");
return 1;
} else {
printf("- Send Success\r\n");
}

Receive(sock, buffer, 3604);

// Kill Socket
shutdown(sock,2);
printf("- Socket Closed\r\n");

freeaddrinfo(res);

return 0;
}
