Re^2: Print to Browser Headers Not Working

I'm a newb so please forgive me. I'm running the apache server that comes with OS X.

Since I posted this question, I found a PHP script that does a download (example that comes with files, etc.) and it worked through the browser. It seems that perl is at issue, and all the headers are just not working.

And I tried the content disposition and content type together, and individually, and the same result happens: it prints the output to the browser.

Any tips on how to configure the server?

Thank you.

What aitap said sounds like it might be right to me. Webservers can be (Apache often is?) set up to send their own headers and since headers can only go once your CGI headers are printed as content.	[reply]

Google gives some good results: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/560749/how-do-i-configure-apache2-to-run-perl-cgi-scripts Basically, you need to enable the `ExecCGI` option for the directories your scripts are situated in and make sure that executable (`chmod +x`) files with `.pl` extension are considered CGI (by using `AddHandler` directive). Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
