Hi, I have these 2 files, one work and the other does not.
#!c:/apps/ruby/bin/ruby.exe
print "Content-type: text/html \n\n\n"
print "1st line "
print "2nd line "
print "3rd line "
And this is the other one(DOES NOT WORK!)
#!c:/apps/ruby/bin/ruby.exe
print "Content-type: text/plain \n\n\n"
print "1st line "
print "2nd line "
print "3rd line "
The only difference is that the 2nd file has text/plain in the header
instead of text/html. Please advise. Thanks

Well, both work…what error are you getting?, how are you using those?
my results:
Content-type: text/html
1st line 2nd line 3rd line
and:
Content-type: text/plain
1st line 2nd line 3rd line
Oops … I’m using them on the browser. Both of those files is in cgi-bin
directory. I wonder why the text/plain gave me errors.
I’m using Apache2.0.48/Ruby1.8.1. Thanks

Because Apache is interpreting text/html to be HTML and when it sees
text/plain is looks to the OS for help. My guess is that when you run
the text/plain one it tries to download the file yes? That is because
the OS does not have a set MIME type for text/plain.
Or something along those lines… ; )

Internet Explorer is the problem. When a content type of text/plain is sent
Internet explorer attempts to open the file using the information in the
registry based on the file extension.
What Internet Explorer will do is take the output and attempt to run it
through the ruby interpreter. The same problem happens if you have
ActiveState Perl installed and attempt to view web pages that have *.pl
extensions and content-type text/plain.
BTW this is incorrect.
print “Content-type: text/html \n\n\n”
It should be
print “Content-type: text/html \r\n\r\n”

And using IE? or I’m wrong?, that behaviour I couldn’t recreate it on
Mozilla(which does the smart thing), IE does the dialog thing, I guess
this is caused because IE is more intimate with windows and looks up the

downloads it and then executes it(if clicking on open) hence the
flashing dos window.
Maybe using a .rb extension isn’t that good('cos IE will look it up in

Hi Osuka, yes you are right. I’m using IE6. I’m still puzzled.
Yes, I’m familiar with eruby. I’d rather to use mod_ruby and eruby if I can.
But since I could not find mswin32 binaries for mod_ruby for quite
sometimes, I had to use the CGI method. Perhaps if you can tell me where to
get mswin32 version of the latest eruby/mod_ruby for Ruby 1.8.1 and Apache
2.0.48, I’ll take that route.
Much Appreciated.
PS: I downloaded Mozilla and test it. It all work out! So, what’s the deal
with IE6?

One way around the problem is to change the extension from .rb to
.cgi or remove the extension. Apache2 will execute the script based on the
shebang line.
mod_ruby works only on Apache 1.x

I’m pretty sure under the rfs your supposed to do \r\n\r\n, but I think
most servers are setup to just look for a single blank line before
actual content, and so they generally just look for a \n and thus the
\n\n works. But technically it’s supposed to be \r\n\r\n I think.

If I understand right, when IE gets a text/plain file, It assumes it’s
not really plaintext, and tries to open it as if you had double-clicked
the file. This would be peculiar to IEWin, I believe.
Now, I don’t have anything running windows around here, so I can’t test
this solution, but:
When I installed mod_ruby with my Apace installation, the Apache config
code that I snipped from a webpage gave ruby executables a “.rbx”
extension rather than “.rb”. Perhaps if you change your httpd.conf to
accept both extensions… then rename your text/plain example to use
the “.rbx” extension. I suspect that that would solve the problem.
Good luck!

Do you know what the difference is between erb.rb and eruby.exe?
Is it just that eruby is compiled or are there additional features?

Well, the same problem appears with Perl(.pl) as well. Anyone has the same
issues. The header “Content-type: text/plain \r\n\r\n” gives me so much
grief in IE6.
mod_ruby works only on Apache 1.x
I’d love to run mod_ruby which is running in my Linux Redhat 9 but now I
have to use the windows server, I’m stuck — can’t find mod_ruby/eruby
binaries for mswin32 version. Anyone compiled that already? Please share.

Hi Osuka, unfortunately I have no say in what browser to use - I’m stuck
with IE and MS-Windoze.
Reading from the reply, it seems that IE6 has a little bug with header
text/plain. Have anyone encounter that issues? Try to use text/plain and put
some reqular text afterward. It works fine with Mozilla but not with IE.

J. Lambert
Good question, I haven’t used erb before, short and honest answer: not
really, I don’t.
AFAIK both embed Ruby, using the taskmanager I noticed that a page that
uses erb calls ruby.exe, but if is an eruby page it calls itself. Maybe
someone who really knows will answer. Note the description of ERB: “ERB
is an implementation of eRuby (embedded ruby)”.
ps: I just remembered that one “web app” that I installed, uses erb (I
thought it was eruby cgi, but no, it’s Ruby+cgi+ERB) maybe You would
want to take a look at it, in sourceforge or RAA look for Tdiary.

Nevertheless you are right. The RFC requires \r\n sequences as line
termination in an HTTP header. Never mind what “Perl does”, it’s better to
just comply to the standard - “Better safe than sorry.”
