Re: Why doesn't the Location header work?

Comments on Spenser's answer:

All the headers, including Content-type, must be above the first line of the actual body(i.e. '<HTML>')
There needs to be a blank line between the headers and the body. (This is why you've found that you need to
```
print "
<HTML>"
[download]
```
)
Netscape spewing my html text out with all of its html tags exposed almost certainly means that the content type of your script's output is being set to text/plain, not text/html. If you don't set the content-type yourself then the web server may set it for you: afair the mime_magic module does this on the basis of filename.

This document, RFC 2616 explains literally everything about the HTTP protocol.
