MapServer and Cygwin

Thu Apr 5 08:55:04 EDT 2001

Yes I get this kind of error some times. Maybe steve can give some help whit 
this.
I've checked my apache error log with :Premature end of script headers.
This error is caused when MS doesn't send the standard HTML header 
(Content-type: text/html\n\n)
Then, I use this trick: Start some(or all) of your HTML templates with this:
Content-type: text/html

<html>
<head>....

Note two spaces before <html> tag. If MS is sending the header with some 
templates, then you will see "Content-type: text/html" on the top of your 
pages. But if doesn't, you will get the correct response ...

I use this trick with MAXTEMPLATE , MINTEMPLATE and ERROR templates.
