This is a classic CGI header error, caused by the absence of a recognizable
emitted header like:

print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"

As the first text emitted by the script.

Remember, if you can get the server to read the filetype and treat it as a
well-behaved source, and if you can get the Ruby scripts to emit the
expected header information, your server requirements become much simpler
to meet.
