The following configuration construct (in httpd.conf) does not work with 'non parsed headers' CGI modules. Example: Action my-handler /cgi-bin/nph-cm.pl AddHandler my-handler csp cls This should invoke the script 'nph-cm.pl' for requests for files with extension 'csp' or 'cls'. Apache should allow the CGI script to return its own header without interfering: Script nph-cm.pl: #!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe print "$ENV{SERVER_PROTOCOL} 200 OK\n"; print "Server: $ENV{SERVER_SOFTWARE}\n"; print "Content-type: text/html\n"; print "Connection: close\n\n"; print "<html><head><title>Test</title></head>\n"; print "<h2>Process: "; print $ENV{"PATH_TRANSLATED"}; print "</h2>\n"; print "</html>\n"; What actually gets returned (for /csp/samples/loop.csp) is: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) Content-type: text/html Connection: close <html><head><title>Test</title></head> <h2>Process: C:\cachesys\csp\samples\loop.csp</h2> </html> HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 12:28:04 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/csp Note that Apache tried insert an header at the end of the transmission for some reason. It also hangs for quite a while (around 5 seconds) whilst returning this content to the client. Incidentally, calling the CGI module directly through a browser (/cgi-bin/nph-cm.pl) works OK. Removing the 'nph-' requirement works as expected: In httpd.conf: Action my-handler /cgi-bin/cm.pl AddHandler my-handler csp cls The script cm.pl: #!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe print "Content-type: text/html\n"; print "Connection: close\n\n"; print "<html><head><title>Test</title></head>\n"; print "<h2>Process: "; print $ENV{"PATH_TRANSLATED"}; print "</h2>\n"; print "</html>\n";
