hi

IMHO has after the line: 'Content-type: text/html' to be a blank line.

test this out:
	printf("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n");
	printf("HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n");
	...

btw: why do you use \r\n?
in unix, all unix has \n for the line end \r\n is windows

hope that helps

I would try it with \n instead of \r\n if it is running on a linux 
system.

A good place would be comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi

You have to replace this DOS/Windoze-stuff "\r\n" with "\n" ... or at
the END of the header it NEEDS two
"\n"!!

Is this correct? I have never seen this in a CGI, normaly this line is
used in the communication between browser and server... but maybe I am
wrong

a the begining start only with few lines in the header like this:


        printf("Content-type: text/html\n");
        printf("Pragma: no-cache\n\n");         // Note the TWO
Linefeeds !
        printf("<HTML> <BODY>\n");
        printf("Welcome to the big website\n");
        printf("</BODY> </HTML>\n");

Just for asthetic reasons, please remove the \r (*shudder*).

: 	printf("HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n");
: 	printf("MIME-version: 1.0\r\n");
: 	printf("Server: SRVPROJ 2.0\r\n");

Why on earth would you want to output this? The CGI output goes to the
server (who will supply these header lines), not to the client.

If you really want to supply ALL HTTP headers (then the 'HTTP/1.0 200
OK' is mandatory and you can use the above code unmodified), call your
script 'nph-something.whatever'. The nph- prefix tells apache not to do
anything with the script headers and spit out unmodified whatever you
throw at it.
