Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Premature end of script headers
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 13:53:56 -0700
Fedora Core 4
Apache 2.0.54
I seem to be having this same problem. I read the manual at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html#writing
and created the "first.pl" file. when I run "./first.pl" from the
command
line, all it prints is:
Content-type: text/html
and does not print the "Hello, World." at all.
And in my browser - it gives me the "Internal Server Error"
All it says in my error logs is:
[Thu Feb 23 08:55:35 2006] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] Premature end
of script headers: first.pl
If anyone could point me in the direction where I need to look, it
would be
greatly appriciated
It sounds a lot like you are missing the empty line that terminates
the header. This is the 'header' that initiates the transfer and
precedes the <html><head>... stuff. It is usually sent for you when
the server reads and sends out a .html file. But if you are running
a script or binary that is creating the content, you have to take care
of that little detail.
You need to start with a line something like:
Content-type: text/html\n\n
eg. in Perl, for example a print for the first of the data sent
would look like:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

That's exactly what I have - here's the first.pl file:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Hello, World.";
Also - I guess ie does work via command line as shown:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]# ./first.pl
Content-type: text/html
Hello, [EMAIL PROTECTED] cgi-bin]#
Just "missed" it since it was on the same line - I then added a couple
\n\n to it, and it prints nicely.
However, it does not display anything vai the browser - just the
"Internal Server Error"
