Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] Document contained no data

[Richard Smith <richard@team-artonomy.com>]

Hi Wolf,


First off, take care with your Mime type. You have it as 'text/html', but
your document is not html. Change it to 'text/text'.

I had a similar problem. You cannot upload a MacPerl .cgi or .acgi file. It
is not a proper text file, just an event handler. They upload as zero bytes.
Try uploading the original .pl file, then rename it to cgi (or append your
.pl file to .cgi before you upload it, makes no difference). That way, you
will get the whole text file, not MacPerl event handler.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Richard
