mod_perl interpretation of text/html output
Dear List,
A modification to the sample Hello.pm module yielded the odd result below.
Note how the outgoing html which the browser receives has been modified.
The html content is important (almost all html works correctly) and I have
presented a simple example.
Changing a single line in to
$r->puts(<<"END");
<html><head></head><a href="http://rd.yahoo.com/M=2"> <img
src="x"></a></html>
END
results in output to the browser of (notice the commented/mangled a href):
<html><head></head><!--ref="http://rd.yahoo.com/M=2" <img src="x"
<--></html>
Platform:
This issue was exhibited in the latest (as of May 28) win32 bundle:
ftp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/pub/other/Apache2.tar.gz. as well as the
equivalent Linux Apache 2.0/mod_perl 1.99 variant.

strange ... I tried the above example as given, on Win32, and it
didn't mangle things ... I also tried some random bad html, and
that came out verbatim ... What are your directives for this
location? Could you also send the complete Hello.pm you used? It
looks pretty short ....

Hmm, as Randy doesn't seem to have this problem, this looks very much like
some firewall/ad-blocker thing like Norton Internet Security working
between you and your Apache.
