Hi Treveor,
I've seen three fixes to this sort of problem in the past, so you might
want to see if any of the following apply to your case:
1) Changing Browser - Galeon had me testing for days, when I could
clearly see that I was getting the correct header, via telnet to the port.
See below.
2) Turning PerlSendHeader Off and sending your own headers.
The problem was probably somewhere else, but sending my own
headers fixed it. Then again, the problem might not have been elsewhere.
3) Make sure you're not sending your header twice. With
PerlSendHeader being on or off, plus a code segment sending a header/or
some gibber elsewhere, or even a stray 'print' to STDOUT from some other
place, before the header is dispatched.
I've had header trouble a couple of time and have often found telneting to
the vhost to be a very handy detector of what might be going wrong. If
that fails then paracetamol is usually a good cure.
My late night 0.02 EU.
