Windows 98
>Description:
This works with Linux and AIX Apaches.
When using the '#!' line for a CGI script, with Windows 98 the first line is
ALSO
passed to the Script Interpreter. This is OK for Perl and Csh, etc. where #
starts a
comment line.
>From the error.log file:
[Wed Dec 08 15:51:56 1999] [error] [client 132.198.110.123] Premature end of scr
ipt headers: c:/program files/apache group/apache/cgi-bin/wvwcgi.rex

Where wvwcgi.rex is:
#!c:/objrexx/rexx
/* Magic does NOT work 12/8/99 */
Say "Content-type: text/html"
Say ""
Say "This CGI script works! Object Rexx";
>How-To-Repeat:
Yes, but the Web client will only show the "Internal Server Error" -- it's the
error.log file that shows the error.
>Fix:
Windows Apache handling of the '#!' line should bypass that line also.
