Tim, I believe I know what you are asking. Normally, CGI returns data in
the form of text/html. This is indicated by including the line
Content-type: text/html\n\n
in the output of your CGI application. This instructs the receiving agent
to treat all data that follows as html text. I believe you want to send
the contents of a file instead of an html response. Change the Content-type:
http header to an appropriate data type for the data you are sending and
the receiving agent should act accordingly.
ie:
Content-type: image/gif\n\n
Browser will display the graphical image. Not having a list of acceptable
mime types in front of me precludes me giving a more specific example.
HTH
