( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Dear Monks

In a cgi script, I want to end the headers. All the scripts I see use print "\n\n";, but as far as I can tell that is incorrect on Unix because "\n" gets written untranslated as "\n", yet the HTTP 1.1. spec requires that the two character sequence CRLF be used to end the headers. So I want to write exactly "\r\n" to STDOUT and avoid any newline translations. I can do that with binmode(STDOUT), but then how do I turn off binmode() for STDOUT, so that I can then print regular text in the response body?

Is turning off binmode() documented anywhere? Should I be using syswrite() instead?


In reply to CGI: newlines, write exactly "\r\n" to end the headers, then turn off binmode by 7stud

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
