doc/bugs/CGI_showed_HTML_when_perl_error.mdwn



I didn't have Time/Duration.pm installed when I clicked RecentChanges. The perl failed. The CGI outputed the Content-type: text/html and the complete HTML which included the error in side of the paragraph tags. Maybe a newline was sent before that Content-type line. The web browser didn't render the HTML but just showed the source.

I can't reproduce this, I get a properly formatted error page.
If you'd like to send me the page, I can try to figure out what
happened. --[[Joey]]


The page is fine. I can reproduce by just putting a typo or error in a
plugin. I used tcpdump. When I am missing plugin I get a newline 0a
before Content-Type:


0x0030:  0000 0003 0000 0000 0a43 6f6e 7465 6e74  .........Content


And with it working, no newline:


0x0030:  0000 0003 0000 0000 436f 6e74 656e 742d  ........Content-


I am using mini_httpd. I guess I could try another webserver real quick.
