Hm, not for me...

xx.xx.xx.xx- - [17/Jan/2007:15:02:15 -0800] "GET /crueljoke.pl HTTP/1.
+1" 200 692 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.

And looks as though others (go through google.com to avoid their cloaking) also have this problem.

The linked case has two problems. The status header didn't come first, and "Status" was misspelled as "status". What's your script? Better yet, did you try mine? (Since yours is hardly a minimal test with 692 bytes of content.)	[reply]

Yes, I just tried yours: `[server]$ pico test.cgi [server]$ chmod 755 test.cgi [server]$ grep -i test.cgi ~/logs/domain.com/http/access.log xx.xx.xx.xx- - [17/Jan/2007:15:11:50 -0800] "GET /test.cgi HTTP/1.1" 2 +00 372 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1. +1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1"` [download] It still gives me a non-404 error in the log (while the browser does display a 404 error page).

That log entry is not for my script, since my script doesn't send 372 bytes of content.	[reply]
