I followed the instructions above and did the following
$ telnet www.ngogeeks.com 80
Trying 216.17.101.59...
Connected to jake.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD http://jake/ngogeeks/downloads/midcom-example.xml.gz HTTP/1.1
host: www.ngogeeks.com
but it just sits there. Eventually I will get a connection closed
message and when I look at the error logs I get the following:
[Fri Dec 19 00:08:39 2003] [error] [client 218.214.55.75] request
failed: error reading the headers
I tried the a GET request with a plain text file:
GET http://jake/ngogeeks/README.txt
and that gets the content of the page but using a HEAD request for the
same URI does the same as the .xml.gz file.
I think Apache is serving the right header information as when I click
on the xml.gz it must be getting downloaded and uncompressed on the fly
as it is openned in the browser but as most people would like to save
those sort of files it would make more sense for a save as window to
open.
Thanks very much for your help.
cheers
John
