When I click on "Client data Available", I get a pop up window saying "Unknown File Type". I open the file with word, and everything looks fine, except no HTML headers or footers.
The client data is a plain-text document.
Everything else is working, and this function was working. It just stopped. I've double checked my httpd.conf in apache, and I haven't changed it since the original install. (I added all the AddHandlers, etc. as described in the install docs)
I've checked privileges, and I haven't changed those either since the original install. I can execute the hobbitsvc.cgi script and it gives me:
To really execute it, you need to set the environment variables that your webserver normally provides. I.e.
REQUEST_METHOD=GET
SCRIPT_NAME=bb-hostsvc.sh
QUERY_STRING="CLIENT=my.host.name"
~hobbit/cgi-bin/bb-hostsvc.sh
You'll see then that it begins with
Content-type: text/plain

so your browser is getting a "text/plain" document back, and for some reason will not render this by itself.
Apparently, this happens *sometimes* with Internet Explorer. I don't know what causes it, though - my guess is some policy setting that only permits text/html to be rendered in the browser.
