Binary distribution (apache_1_3_6_win32.exe)
Typical installation, default location
>Description:
I created this small Turbo Pascal 7 program:
begin writeln('Content-type: text/plain');writeln;writeln('Hi) end.
named it cgi1.pas, compiled it to cgi1.exe and put it in
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin
When executed as a CGI, the server responded with a 500 error.
Error log:
[Mon May 31 16:43:40 1999] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: c:/program files/apache group/apache/cgi-bin/cgi1.exe
Script log:
%% [Mon May 31 16:43:40 1999] GET /cgi-bin/cgi1.exe HTTP/1.1

%response
The problem disappears if I put cgi1.exe under some short, dos8.3-compatible
path:
in httpd.conf:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin2/ "c:/cgi-bin/"
CGI scripts (e.g. perl scripts) work fine in all cases, even when I put
perl in some LFN path like c:/perl directory/bin/perl.exe
