Sometimes you have to fiddle with the exact location of the % and % tags to get the whitespace just right. HTH 73, Ged.

Hello everybody ,
I have some Apache::ASP scripts that work like a XML::RPC . The idea is to
send some XML request and the response will be an answer in XML that can be
used by the client software.
One of my scrips has a problem that in the response , 7 times a '\n'
charecter is put before the actual XML text (seen by using ethereal ). This
confuses my clients XML parser (M$ parser ).
I don't know where these characters come from. The ouput i generated doesn't
have it. I already tryed Response-Binarywrite and flushing but this doesn't
do the trick.
Does anybody know where this comes from ?
Like Ged said, check out your % %, but also if you want to kill
leading white space globally, you might post process your output
in your global.asa with Script_OnFlush:
sub Script_OnFlush {
my $out_ref = $Response-{BinaryRef};
$$out_ref =~ s/^\s+(\\?xml)/$1/s
}
Then set PerlSetVar BufferingOn 1 so that flush will only be called
once per script.

Hello, WLOne of my scrips has a problem that in the response , 7 times a '\n' WLcharecter is put before the actual XML text (seen by using ethereal ). WLThis confuses my clients XML parser (M$ parser ). Actually, I think you are misdiagnosing your problem. The "7\n" that you are seeing in your packet sniff sounds like a chunked Transfer-Encoding byte size (check RFC 2616, the HTTP 1.1 specification, and read up on chunked Transfer-Encoding). This would be perfectly normal in the case that Apache doesn't know the Content-Length to send (which for scripts, it won't unless you set it yourself).
