Let me recommend, once again, to use \r\n instead of \n to delimit the HTTP header lines when you print them.

Also, your Content-Length "header" is still malformed.

      Please run your script outside of the HTTP server and inspect its output. Your web server adds some headers and misinterprets some other headers. Most likely, your script does not output what you think it should.

        I think the http headers are not giving expected output.
