Re: CGI error...

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

It looks like that "error" occurs when you try to view the HTML source code.
My logs indicate that the HTTP header is invalid.
I had this issue previously and corrected it, but when we moved from the old 170
on V4R5 to the 520 on V5R3 I may have rolled back my source code Viewer and
reintroduced the error. It only occurs with HTML, and so you may look at what
HTTP header you are sending.
Again, remember, that the HTTP header is terminated with two consecutive
linefeeds and any "headers" you send after the two linefeeds are NOT interpreted
as headers.  
For example, this is a one-line HTTP header:

'Content-Type: text/html' + X'2525'

This is a two-line HTTP Header:
'Content-Type: text/html' + X'25'
'Status: 200 Hello World' + X'2525'

(contrived by to illustrate the linefeed issue)

my CGIDEBUG file acts like it's not even getting to my clrhtmlbuffer();

The GET limit is around 4k but really isn't 4k.
The POST limit is unlimited.
