Hi.

Working with Apache 2.0 (on a customer's server and on my own server),
I've got a '500 Internal Server Error' with a CGI application. When
accessing 'http://customer_machine/test.cgi', Firefox tries to
download the error webpage.

But when accessing 'http://my_own_machine/test.cgi', Firefox shows the
HTML error webpage.

Analyzing headers

---------------------------------------
http://customer_machine/test.cgi
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: application/x-cgi
----------------------------------------

--------------------------------------
http://my_own_machine/test.cgi
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
--------------------------------------

How can I change the Content-Type of CGI scripts?

Thank you very much.

Just a very wild guess: maybe by changing the parameter(s) of the header()
method?

Well, that depends on whether you're referring to the headers your cgi
script outputs or the headers of the web server's error page that was
returned.
