Greetings all,
First, note .. I am not suggesting that mod_perl caused the
following odd occurance, I am merely suggesting that it is related to
mod_perl, and hopefully someone has ran into a similar problem.
To begin, I wrote some code to dynamically create an image (jpeg
to be specific) of 8 various chars placed randomly. I then spit it out to
the browser with mime type 'image/jpeg' and viola. Here is a small code
snippet of the final action.
- ------ Begin ------
print $q->header(
-type=> 'image/gif',
-expires=> 'now'
);
print $im->jpeg(100);
- ------ End --------
This works fine, and so far on all platforms and browsers I have tried.
After finishing development of my site, i turned on modperl. Within a few
minutes my wife complains her browser has crashed. this problem is
occurring _only_ during this image download, _only_ on IE, and _only_
when I have mod_perl enabled. I did not notice the problem as I
exclusively use Mozilla, which seems to be working fine.
In conclusion, I admit that yes, IE is POS and should not crash
when this is occurring, and is strange behavior indeed. But alternatively
if it works in normal perl, it should work in mod_perl (IMHO). Hopefully
this problem is caused by my possible ignorance and someone can enlighten
me. I tested this on my desktop (linux/Mozilla), my wifes machine running
win98/IE 5 i believe, and my sons machine running winme. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Jim
