I need some help. I've searched the Archives for a solution,
but I haven't been able to find one.
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.
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:
Content-type: text/html
<html><head><title>Invalid request</title></head>
<body>Invalid request</body></html>
I've seen this problem reported in the lists, but with no
definite fix action.
Help would really be appreciated. Has anyone else seen
this just stop working and not recognizing the File Type?
When you open the Doc, all the information is there, but
the HTML headers are not. I suspect that the hobbitsvc.cgi
script is not pulling the HTML headers, but I also checked
and they are there.
Thanks..James

The client data is a plain-text document.

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
client voodoo,hswn,dk.linux [date] Fri Nov 10 07:25:36 CET 2006
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.
