[plug] Mozilla and theinteresting world of .pl

[Mike Holland]

Hi Patrick,
there seems to be some confusion from your terminology.
You are not looking at the ".pl file", but at the HTML _output_ from that
program. right? Some of us interpretted it differently.

Thats a different case. Why did you change the URL?
Are you sure this happens "anywhere on the web" ?

> Content-Type: text/plain

Note the "Content-Type:" entry.
That means the page SHOULD be displayed as plain text HTML source.
Mozilla is doing the right thing, Netscape 4.77 does the same thing.
Is MS_IE different?

 Try a page which is supposed to be rendered. e.g.

% lynx -dump -head http://www.loungeman.com/cgi-bin/loungeman.pl
...
Content-Type: text/html

Do you see the above line? How does teh page look in your browser?
Try right-click -> view page info.
