SD and client.write

Hi,
I'm loading HTML pages to the client from an SD card. It works with client.write(myFile.read()); fine but there is a lag in performance so I implemented loading the file by chunks rather than one byte at a time. I've done with on an Arduino fine but it won't compile for the ESP8266. I can't figure out the problem.

Code: Select all        byte tBuf[64];
        unsigned int lastPosition = 0;
       
        File myFile = SD.open(page);        // open web page file
        if (myFile) {
             // send a standard http response header
             client.println(F("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"));
         
             if(webParser.contains(page, ".jpg")){
               client.println(F("Content-Type: image/jpeg"));
               client.println(F("Cache-Control: max-age=36000, public")); 
             } else if(webParser.contains(page, ".gif")){
               client.println(F("Content-Type: image/gif"));
               client.println(F("Cache-Control: max-age=36000, public"));
             } else if(webParser.contains(page, ".png")){
               client.println(F("Content-Type: image/png"));
               client.println(F("Cache-Control: max-age=36000, public"));
             } else if(webParser.contains(page, ".htm")){
               client.println(F("Content-Type: text/html"));
             } else if(webParser.contains(page, ".js")){
               client.println(F("Content-Type: application/javascript"));
             } else if(webParser.contains(page, ".css")){
               client.println(F("Content-Type: text/css"));
             }

             client.println();   
       
           while(myFile.available())
            {
               myFile.read(tBuf,64);
               client.write(tBuf, myFile.position() - lastPosition);
               lastPosition = myFile.position();
             
              //yield for esp8266 processes
              yield();
              //multiple bytes doesn't work for esp8266
              //client.write(myFile.read());
   
             }
             
            myFile.close();
             // disconnect the SD card


Here's the error
