Thanks for the tip. I tried a .txt file and it worked as it
should. Thanks. I also tried a .tgz file. This file had an
extra \0A on the end, but otherwise was ok.
I find it interesting that it did not treat the .rb file
as a text file.

Thanks for the link. I glanced it over and rfc1521 about mime
formats but did not have anything jump out at me as how to
set mime types for cgi. Can this be done?


Thanks again.
