[Denver-pm] perl cgi-bin and Content Type?

Tue Nov 11 20:32:54 PST 2014

Hi Robert -

The HTTP spec says that lines should end with CR LF, and that you need a
blank line after the last header and before the body. So your first
example with two carriage returns is correct (except you should probably
use "\r\n\r\n" instead of "\n\n").  There must be something else going
on that is causing trouble with the style sheet info - can you post a
more complete example?
