I'm seeing a very strange problem with cgi scripts after migrating to
new hardware and from apache 1.3.x to 2.2.2
While 404, 403 etc errors are fine, '500 Internal server error' errors
are now sent as text/plain instead of as text/html.
This means that instead of a nicely formatted error saying '500 Internal
server error' whenever a cgi script dies or fails to produce a valid
http header, the end-user sees all the HTML markup wrapped around that
message instead.
It doesn't seem to be perl related, as I can recreate the same thing
with the following one line bash script (which clearly fails to send
headers)
#!/bin/bash
A packet trace shows that the mime type is being set to text/plain in
the document header, followed by the 500/Internal server error message
