    Hi,
    FBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p10, Apache2.

    My first cgi-bin program.
    I have the following files in /usr/local/www/cgi-bin:
    Cal (-rwxr-xr-x)
    Calendar (-rw-r--r-- typical calendar file to display 'today in
    history')

    Cal contains the following lines:
    #!/bin/sh
    echo Content-type: text/plain
    /usr/bin/calendar
    ------
    If I cd to /usr/loca/www/cgi-bin, and do ./cal,
    I get the echo, plus the expected output.

    When I request, http://howse.no-ip.org/cgi-bin/cal
    I get an Internal Server Error.
    The error logfile says:
    Malformed header from script. Bad header=Oct 1 Jimmy Carter born,
    192,:cal

    ScriptAlias is defined properly in httpd.conf, and I get the proper
    output from test-cgi.

    I've read the Apache2 documentation on CGI, and troubleshooting errors,
    no joy.

    How can I fix this?

    Thanks,
    Charles
