Cgi Http Error Code

a valid response for the client -- generally a 500 Internal Server Error message. Your CGI has the option of displaying full or partial headers. By default, CGI scripts should return cgi http response code only partial headers. 3.3.1. Partial Headers CGI scripts must output one of the following cgi http headers three headers: A Content-type header specifying the media type of the content that will followA Location header specifying a URL to redirect http error code 500 the client toA Status header with a status that does not require additional data, such as 204 No Response Let's review each of these options. 3.3.1.1. Outputting documents The most common response for CGI scripts is to http error code 404 return HTML. A script must indicate to the server the media type of content it is returning prior to outputting any content. This is why all of the CGI scripts you have seen in the previous examples contained the following line: print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; You can send other HTTP headers from a CGI script, but this header field is the minimum necessary in order to output a document. HTML documents are by no

means the only form of media type that may be outputted by CGI scripts. By specifying a different media type, you can output any type of document that you can imagine. For example, Example 3-4 later in this chapter shows how to return a dynamic image. The two newlines at the end the Content-type header tell the web server that this is the last header line and that subsequent lines are part of the body of the message. This correlates to the extra CRLF that we discussed in the last chapter, which separates HTTP headers from the content body (see the upcoming sidebar, the sidebar "Line Endings"). Line Endings Many operating systems use different combinations of line feeds and carriage returns to represent the end of a line of text. Unix systems use a line feed; Macintosh systems use a carriage return; and Microsoft systems use both a carriage return and a line feed, often abbreviated as CRLF. HTTP headers require a CRLF as well -- each header line must end with a carriage return and a line feed. In Perl (on Unix), a line feed is represented as "\n", and a carriage return is represented as "\r". Thus, you may wonder why our previous examples have included this: print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; and not this: print "Conten

You do need the second print though, as you need a double-newline to end the HTTP response headers. Otherwise your web server may complain you aren't sending it a complete set of headers. sys.stdout('Status: 403 Forbidden\r\n\r\n') may be technically more correct, according to RFC (assuming that your CGI script isn't running in text mode on Windows). However both line endings seem to work everywhere. share|improve this answer answered Sep 11 '09 at 16:27 bobince 364k75479687 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote I guess, you're looking for send_error.

Unfortunately it is still http error code returning a 200 Status OK when using POST or PUT. my ($buffer); # Read in text $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/; if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "GET") { $buffer = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; } else { $cgi->$header->status('405 Method Not Allowed') print $cgi->header('text/plain'); } I am still new to CGI programming so I figured someone here could toss me a bone about working with CGI and HTTP status returns. If a good CGI doc is provided that would be awesome, as most returned by search are CPAN (already read a few times) and really old tutorials that are not Object oriented. perl http cgi w3c share|improve this question asked Nov 9 '13 at 5:07 MattSizzle 2,2601035 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted cpan docs is more than enought for CGI. If you want new tutorials don't use CGI, use one of MVC frameworks ( Catalyst, Dancer2, Mojo, etc ). You can post 405 header if will change: $cgi->$header->status('405 Method Not Allowed'); print $cgi->header('text/plain'); to this: print $cgi->header( -type=
