>Description:
I want to send binary data to the remote client using a CGI
script. But the server is corrupting the data by changing $0A
to $0D, $0A sequences...the newlines for MSDOS machines. My
script explicitly sends a Content-type: application/octet-stream
header. The server also parses out isolated $0D bytes, or messes
them up too. How do I turn this off? ASIS won't do for me in
this particular instance, I don't think. Is there a content-type
that would work?
