IIS 5.5 and CGI trauma

[stevieboy2]

Hi all

I am having trouble with my CGI. We are currently using Active State Perl 6.1 as our CGI app on IIS 5.5. Recently it has started falling over. The scripts will work fine, then after a non-specific amount of time it stops working and i get this message

"CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: "

If i restart the IIS services it works fine again, for a while! Normal page broswing isn't affected at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Try telnetting to the server so that you can see exactly what the CGI app is sending back to the browser. Chances are that the Perl error mesage is being sent and interpreted as a set of duff http headers.
