[mapserver-users] CGI Error

[Thomas, Cord]

Steve

I saw the source too, but not being familiar with CGI dynamics, i am not
sure where to look for the cause.  DAn Martin has helped a bit, but i am
still without an answer.

Two questions - 
 1 - i noted that the setting "Content-type" is not the same case as many of
the content-type statements i have seen in other sources.  i wonder if this
might be a problem?  i do not know if the standards are specific on this.
 2 - is there a diagram explaining what happens/what the path of execution
is for mapserv binary.  i understand the .map file is a
template/configuration for the mapserver, but, being new to the cgi process,
i am not sure the path of execution - which would help me debug this
problem:
    client request -> web server -> cgi process -> process request -> web
server -> client

   in that path - how does the .map file fit in with say the remaining html
files?

You could use a perl script and the lwp module to get output (headers
and all) from MapServer. You could also write a wrapper script in
whatever language that sets the appropriate environment variables for
mapserv and the executes it. 

In checking the source code MapServer always sets output mime type to
"text/html". Only in the WMS feature info output is "text/plain" used
(appropriately). There may be a source code problem but at first glance
I don't see it. I'd need example headers to debug it.

I have asked on this list before about CGI headers too.

Though, i am working on Linux/Resin combination - I have a similar
HTTP
header problem.  My problem is that i believe the mapserver is replying
with
a content-type of text, not html - which screws up a mozilla browser.

Any way we can get a debug of the http header?

I am trying to install MS in a new machine, and I am getting the
following
error:

CGI Error.
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete
set of
HTTP headers.

Is this an error related to MS? or th IIS?  Any hints as to where I
should
look at???
