Premature end of script headers
Here's my first ruby trial post. The trial today, Ruby based cgi and the annoying header problem with apache.
First the sample script:
Now the really painful part was getting the header to work. I kept getting error 500 from the web server, and kept dancing around my server, through logs and such, trying to find the answer.
The problem: Malformed header and premature end of script headers
The answer: take out the extra \r's for the Microsoft compatibility if you are on a unix server.
Old header: Content-type: text\/html\n\r\n\r
New header: Content-type: text\/html\n\n
Simple and works fine. Until the next trial, please keep yourself together, I'll have an answer eventually ;).
First the sample script:
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
