If you execute this from the command line, you should see the
Content-type: header as part of the text output. When apache runs it
under the cgi interface the parts up to the blank line ("\n\n") should
be included in the http headers and the rest in the body of the
response. If you have copied the example files from somewhere, be sure
that they aren't formated for windows with extra carriage returns
embedded and if you are entering your own code be sure you don't output
anything but valid header lines before the blank line.
