Hmmm, SO what exactly am I suppose to to? I added the following to my HTML, right after the beginning of the <head> section but the browser is still not interpreting my pages as HTML <head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8"> -----Original Message----- From: web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Lee Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 8:30 PM To: web400@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [WEB400] Browser tries to download program HTML pages are sent to the browser from the web server as a HTTP response message. A HTTP response message includes 2 sections. The first section is the message header and consists on zero or more headers, probably the most commonly used of which is the "Content-type" header. The header section is followed by 2 CRLFs, which are followed by the message body. In your case the message body is an HTML document. However if there is no "Content-type" header the browser doesn't know that the message body is a HTML document, and since the extension is not .htm, .html, or something else that indicates that the message body is a HTML document, the browser doesn't know how to handle the message body and asks you where to save it. Strictly speaking the "Content-type" section isn't part of the HTML, though it is sent to the browser. It probably worked before because the IBM HTTP server (not based on APACHE) checked for a "Content-type" header and added one if it didn't exist. On the browser side you still won't see the "Content-type" section, however you should see the document as an HTML page in the browser, instead of a download. Joe Lee p.s. If you want to find out more about the HTTP messages take a look at RFC 2616. >>> mskvarenina@xxxxxxx 10/21/2004 19:32:50 >>> Finally, any additional thoughts on my problem? My previous HTML didn't have a content type section. I don't know how that would effect the web server itself as opposed to the browser. For example does the web server itself read the HTML then do something different/special when it sees a content type directive? _______________________________________________ This is the Web Enabling the AS400 / iSeries (WEB400) mailing list To post a message email: WEB400@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/web400 or email: WEB400-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/web400.
