Subject: fastCGI and redirect scripts
Has anybody had any experience with fastCGI and scripts that cause
redirections? Well this doesn't work (for me at least). Consider the
following simple perl script:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl-fcgi
use FCGI;
while (FCGI::accept() >= 0) {
print "Location:http://www.fastcgi.com/\n\n"
}
Well if I access it through normal CGI, fine - I get redirected to the
fastCGI home page. But if I access through fastCGI I get "document
contains no data"
Accessing via telnet I see the following
1) CGI
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Date: Wed, 03 Jul 1996 14:01:23 GMT
Server: Apache/1.1b4
Location: http://www.fastcgi.com/
Content-type: text/html
<HEAD><TITLE>Document moved</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H1>Document moved</H1>
The document has moved <A HREF="http://www.fastcgi.com/">here</A>.<P>
</BODY>
Connection closed by foreign host.
2) FastCGI
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Wednesday, 03-Jul-96 14:01:27 GMT
Server: Apache/1.1b4
MIME-version: 1.0
Location:http://www.fastcgi.com/
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong - or what apache/fastCGI is
doing wrong?
Thanks for any help
