Saravanan,
Hi there. Our conversation drifted off the list, I am replying back to the
list so when this is resolved it will be in the archives and may help
someone else. Also, I am hoping that someone else may be able to help.
Sounds like you have a server configuration problem. I'm assuming that you
are using some version of windows. I am a bit out of my realm here, I use
apache on linux and do my cgi coding in perl.
Here are a couple of settings that are needed with linux, and perl cgi
programs from my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
#
# "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased
# CGI directory exists, if you have that configured.
#
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
##mw - only a guess, but you probably need .exe instead of .cgi for the
Add-Handler line
</Directory>
The script alias and cgi-bin directory directives instruct apache to execute
the cgi programs and direct the output to the client. Without them it will
simply try to send the contents of your exe file to the browser, which would
result in the header error.
Mike
