Hi guys,
I've written a simple script to test my understanding of cgi. When I
save it as test.rb and try access it through the browser, the browser
tries to download it. However, when I save it as test.cgi or test.txt,
the browser displays the script (it doesn't run it).
You can see the script here: http://pastebin.com/R8Derba8
What am I missing?
Thanks!

You're missing the CGI part of CGI 
You need to tell your web server that when it encounters a Ruby file,
it should execute it instead of just treating it like a file. That
config varies from server to server, so check your web server's docs.
Other tips:
* make it executable
* put the #! on line one, not line 2
* you probably don't want to emit the status line ("200 OK") --
usually the server itself emits that and you start with the headers
(or with the body)
