Greetings,
Tried to run some benchmarking tests on a cgi generated web page comparing a
light and heavy server.
ab worked fine when testing the script run by the Apache 2.0.39 light server
ab reported failure when testing the same script running on Apache
2.0.40-dev with mod-perl 1.99
Both worked and looked fine when viewed via a browser.
Looking at the source code for each page via the browser I found that the
only difference between
the pages was that the first couple of lines in the mod-perl enabled server
where
<?xml version ="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1">
<!DOCTYPE html
while the first line of the page served by the light server is just
<!DOCTYPE html
The cgi script which generates the page has in it
use CGI '-no_xhtml';
In my /conf/startup.pl script for the mod-perl server I tried
use CGI '-no_xhtml';
CGI->compile(':all');
But that didn't stop the xml line from showing up.
So two questions:
Why does ab break when it sees <?xml version ... as the first line (IF that
is the problem)? and
How do I get the mod-perl server to honor "use CGI '-no_xhtml'; " ?
Thank you,
