NPH Scripts on Apache under Win32

vbrtrmn has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was wondering if there are any issues running NPH scripts on Apache under Win32. Here's a generic test script, which I've been messing with:

#!perl.exe

print "$ENV{'SERVER_PROTOCOL'} 200 OK\n";
print "Server: $ENV{'SERVER_SOFTWARE'}\n";
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
$| = 0;
for ($loop = 10; $loop >= 0; $loop--)
    {
    print "$loop\n";
    sleep (1);
    }
print "Blast Off!\n";
exit (0);

It seems to work okay on my Mandrake box and Cobalt RaQ, but not so well on my windows machine... and no, perl.exe is not in my cgi-bin :)
See it not work here: http://66.149.100.92/cgi-bin/nph-test.cgi

Actually it works fine for me with Galeon - but I think the problem you are seeing is because you need to output proper carriage return / line feed pairs in the header and not just "\n" - you can probably replace the "\n"s in the header with "\r\n" or "\xOD\xOA" more exactly /J\	[reply]

Using the Mozilla & IE browsers under windows.. `Content-type: text/plain\r\n` returns the save file dialog. `Content-type: text/plain\x0D\x0A` (those are zeros) returns the same. `Content-type: text/plain\r\r` returns the same. `Content-type: text/plain\x0D\x0D` (those are zeros) returns the same. `Content-type: text/plain\xOD\xOD` (those are oh's) returns a blank page. `Content-type: text/plain\xOD\xOA` (those are oh's) returns a blank page. -- paul	[reply] [d/l] [select]
