Hi all-

I know what the definition of a premature end of script header is
in my log file.  What i cant seem to figure out is why it is happening.

I have a policy file setup for my website for a chat script.
This java code worked on a solaris machine and I ported it over to my
RH 9.0 machine.  I have an html file which posts to a perl script
which dynamically builds the .html file for the <applet codebase etc
stuff.  Permissions seem correct on all files, security policy etc,
but I always get:

[Sun Nov 02 20:04:59 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] Premature end of script headers: babylon101.jar
[Sun Nov 02 20:05:01 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] Premature end of script headers: babylon101.jar

[Sun Nov 02 20:05:01 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/mine/cgi-bin/java/babylonApplet

interestingly enough, each line comes out twice, which is odd to me also.

the files all appear in the correct places from DocumentRoot etc.
Its on loading the .jar file where I get the error.

Any ideas?  Ive scanned the web for a few hours with no luck.

I even tried telnet'ing in on port 80 and doing a GET to see if I
could get the file:

Trying xx.xx.83.15...
Connected to xx.xx.83.15.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET http://secure1.no-ip.com/cgi-bin/java/babylon101.jar HTTP 1.1

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
etc etc

with errlog:

[Sun Nov 02 20:49:19 2003] [error] [client 66.237.72.25] Premature end of script headers: babylon101.jar

Thanks,
Jeff
