Yes, I know this. If I run the script from the console, after printing a bunch of 'DEBUG: ... ' messages, the lines: Content-type: text/html are printed. If 'cgi_header' is from boa, then I must assume those debug messages are getting sent to STDOUT in the cgi call (which would cause this error). However, I can't find out where those DEBUG messages are being instantiated. I would assume the DEBUG messages are supposed to be sent to STDERR (or not printed at all if called from a cgi). Also, it's working for others, that's why I was trying to find out if this might be related to boa somehow. -- According to MegaHAL: The emu is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace.
