CGI Scripts: Error 500: Internal Server Error CGI program sent malformed HTTP headers: [] ??

[gforums]

Hi there,

I am new to mongoose and have no experience with it yet.
I've set up the webserver on a linux running embedded device and it's
working so far.
(port 80, standard settings). The cgi-files are located in the root-
directory from mongoose.

Now I am trying to get CGI(with html output) to work, but everytime I
try to open my cgi files (using firefox), I get the following message:

>> Error 500: Internal Server Error
>> CGI program sent malformed HTTP headers: []

AS CGI-Interpreter, I am using /bin/ash and the first lines of my cgi
files are looking like this:

#! /bin/ash
echo -e "Content-Type: text/html\n\r\r"
echo -e "Hello World"
....
....

Did I miss something? Could anyone provide me with a very short CGI
content, that should work with mongoose?

Thanks for all your hints!
Best,

Write CGI like this:

#! /bin/ash
echo "Content-Type: text/html"

echo
echo "Hello World"

Sergey

I am new to trying to run a test.py script using mongoose-3.7. Test.py runs fine from teh command line.Test.py contents are

print ("Content-Type: text/html")

print ("\r\n")

print ("\r\n")

When i run it using Python from the command line, it runs without errors.

When i try to run it from within a client side html script using "Action:cgi_bin/Test.py" it errors out with

Error 500: Internal Server Error

CGI program sent malformed or too big (>16384 bytes) HTTP headers: []

Help!

Run it like this from command line (I am assuming you're using UNIX):

./Test.py | hexdump -C

And paste the output here.
