We're seeing some very strange behavior with HTML::Mason/Apache 2.2/MP2
that only affects a few of our files. I'm able to reproduce it reliably.
We have a custom handler method that handles all requests to our site by
passing them off to HTML::Mason (with exceptions for images, and the like).
On some pages, the first few lines of HTML output are missing. If I add
a newline to the very first line of the mason component, all of the
content appears (see below). This has led me to believe that the issue
is related to headers. Something is eating the first few lines of all
out our output up until the the first blank line.
Those lines however, do not appear in the header output of the request,
though. They just seem to disappear somewhere inside apache2.2.
Has anyone seen this problem before? We didn't experience it under MP1.
Thanks,
Rob
