From: Uncle Ricky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: MSIE 5.5 (beta) can't handle CGI RAM files I have been using Perl-generated cgi-scripts as replacements for .RAM files for a long time. These scripts allow me to easily create custom "ram" files in the HTML code. They also allow me to check the "referer" in the request to real servers (3.0, 4.0 and G2/7). The information is sent via GET to a cgi file, and the cgi file emulates a .RAM file, that is, it does NOT output a HTML or TEXT file, it outputs: Content-type: audio/x-pn-realaudio\n\n pnm://ser.ver.ip:port/rmfile\n and this works very well with Netscape 4.7 and MSIE 5.1. (note that "pnm" is replaced with "rtsp" for G2/7) BUT - it bombs with MSIE 5.5 because MSIE 5.5 doesn't know what to do with the header, and it calls the CGI script a second time. Can anyone confirm that Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 beta is broken in this regard?
