vhttpd

I have a perl script that calls a vortex script on our texis server. We are using vhttpd on that box. All of a sudden instead of seeing just the content the perl script is also presenting back the headers. Is there a way to suppress vhttpd from sending the headers??? Here is what I am seeing

HTTP/1.0 200 Ok
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2002 19:25:47 GMT
Server: Thunderstone-Texis-Vortex/3.01.994310597 (alpha-dec-osf4.0-64)
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain

2002538

here is what I want to see

2002538

this used to work until a couple of days ago. Any ideas.

HTTP transactions always return headers. Your perl script needs to skip over them to find the page content.

Thats really strange since it was working up until 2 days ago but Ok.. if you say so.

Something on the system obviously changed 2 days ago. You might want to find out what, before you get more suprises.

Deeper digger has revealed that it is just this one vortex script when called that creates these headers. Does that make any sense??

If I call it from lynx I get

HTTP/1.0 200 Ok Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 20:57:52 GMT Server: Thunderstone-Texis-Vortex/3.01.994310597 (alpha-dec-osf4.0-64)
Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain 2003533

but if I call another script from lynx I get the output I expect to get.

Try geturl on that url to see what the webserver's really sending back.
(geturl is in your morph3/bin directory).
