Hi,
I just started using Apache::ASP, and and I'm experiencing a strange
problem:
When I try to view any .asp page on my server, my browser (Microsoft IE 6)
displays nothing. In trying to debug this, I've ended up with a test.asp
page that contains only plain text (specifically, "Hello, world"), no <% %>
tags whatsoever. Even still, when I request that page, IE shows nothing. (I
also tried Opera, which did something even stranger - it automatically
re-requests the page several times and then gives up, reporting this error:
"Repeated attempts failed to load this page completely.")
My .htaccess file is pretty minimal:
<Files ~ (\.asp)>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlModule Apache::ASP
PerlHandler Apache::ASP
PerlSetVar Global .
PerlSetVar NoState 1
# PerlSetVar StateDir /tmp/asp
</Files>
When I looked in Apache's error_log, no errors were reported, so I decided
to use lwp-request, to take a look at the raw HTTP response. Here's what it
shows:
$ lwp-download -S -e http://www.jessicamd.com/test.asp
GET http://www.jessicamd.com/test.asp --> 200 OK

Hello, world.
This looks like a perfectly valid HTTP response to me, but my browser(s)
disagree.
I even copied test.asp to test.txt, and ran lwp-request on it, to compare:
$ lwp-request -S -e http://www.jessicamd.com/test.txt
GET http://www.jessicamd.com/test.txt --> 200 OK

Hello, world.
To my eyes, these responses look pretty similar. The only differences that I
see appear to be harmless. The .asp response has one extra header
(Cache-Control) while the .txt response has three extra headers:
Accept-Ranges, ETag, and Last-Modified. Could any of these be the culprit?
I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, but I'm stumped. Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
