MS Internet Explorer, View and CGI

 [1/11] from: lmecir:mbox:vol:cz at: 28-Jan-2003 19:13


Hi all, did you notice, that if you install Rebol/View on your Windows machine, you may find out, that CGI scripts with .R suffix "work strangely"? Instead of browsing the result page Explorer offers you the ability to "download" the file. Regards -L

Hi Ladislav, I had the same problem sometimes ago. I made a note for myself:
>The system asking for a directory to save hw-txt.r. >This error appears when there is no space after "Content-Type" in : > > print "Content-Type: text/plain^/^/"
And I remember too, that I had problem with 'newline in my script. A script made under Linux must be rewritten inder Windows. write %myscript.r read %myscript.r HTH Patrick

I think this is not a problem of Windows as such. It would seem more logical to have something to do with the configuration of your webserver. Ladislav Mecir wrote:

Then how come, that both Mozilla and Konqueror behave normally? Moreover, the webserver does exactly what it should, i.e. it really sends the result of the CGI script and if I allow the MS Explorer to save the file, it doesn't save the script file, but the result of the script, which it should have displayed instead?

This might seem like sort of a strange question, does the .r file that is your cgi script have any querystring at its end? If not can you try and put a querystring at the end and see if IE's behavior changes. Not saying this will necessarily have any effect but try it.

Moreover, I must add, that the on the computers without View installed MS Explorer shows the CGI result correctly. Regards -L

Do you have a link to this cgi script, I have IE and view so I'd like to see something.

You can use any query string at the end if you use the GET query, but you can use even a POST method.

The script is: http://cosi.ksi.vslib.cz/tia-cgi/cgicheck.r and the same script is also http://cosi.ksi.vslib.cz/tia-cgi/cgicheck.cgi Regards -L

Hi, Ladislav, I have found a note I wrote, (another one), when encountering the same problem, a long time ago. 8<- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - On my Windows 98 machine, cgi-hw-txt.r does not work with Apache. Instead of displaying anything a download is proposed ! After investigation it seems to be a bug in MSIE. MSIE do not rely on the explicit "content-type" but on the file extension (here .r). A solution is to rename the script to cgi-hw-txt.cgi. 8<- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I wish I would be more precise, but I am not able to test this at the moment. Please look at this page that will give you more explanations: http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/content-type.html HTH Regards Patrick
