After buying the eagle book I built a module that will parse any incomming request from a browser, then send a frame set html page with the correct html document in a specific frame. From browsers on my linux box everything works find. From the two Windows clients I've test both Mozilla and IE6, at random times, fail to load some of the images referenced in the html code. This only occurs when using URLs that point to that module, even for the same module on different servers. Normal browsing does not have this problem. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Module: 

package Apache::Content;


use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
use Apache::URI();
use Apache::File();
    

sub handler {
    my $r = shift;


    my ($page, $adtitle, $fh);


    #get the document root of the
    #requested URL
    my $document_root = $r->document_root;
    my $uri = $r->uri;


    #pars url to get form name and adtitle
    if ($uri =~ m/\/content\/([^-]+)-([^-]+)/){
        $page = $1;
        $adtitle = $2;
    }


    $r->content_type('text/html');
    $r->send_http_header;
    

    my $path = $r->filename;
    $path =~ s/(.*?)[^\/]+$/$1/;


    #open index frameset
    unless ($fh = Apache::File->new($path."index.html")){
        $r->log_error("Can't open index.html: $!");
        return SERVER_ERROR;
    }
    while (<$fh>){
        #change main window from home.html to the page 
        #requested
        

        #if url contained vgfrom then pass to 
        #vgform module (Vgform.pm)
        if ($page =~ m/vgform/io){
            s/src="?\/home\.html"?/src=\/$page-$adtitle/io;
        }else{
            s/src="?\/home\.html"?/src=\/$page/io;
        }
        $r->print($_);
    }


    return OK;
}
1;
