This is what the browser sees:

<0>fastjack@fuchi[7]:~$ echo -e "GET /hello.rhtml HTTP/1.0\n" |
nc nexus 80 | grep -i content-type
Content-Type: text/plain

Now the _same_ script executed directly:

<0>fastjack@nexus[1001]:~$ eruby -Mc /var/www/htdocs/hello.rhtml|
grep -i content-type
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

At first I would suspect apache to reset the content-type but
setting the Apache.request.content_type explicitly solves the
problem. (As I was curious I wrote a small script that would
display the contents of Apache.request.content_type and what did
I find in there? "text/plain")
Seems like the some weird initialisation error.

This occurs with ruby 1.6.6, eRuby 0.9.7 and mod_ruby 0.9.4 on an
Apache 1.3.22 (on Solaris 8 x86 10/01)

Cheers
Martin

ps: I'll send an extra message to modruby@modruby.net just to
make sure :)
