It looks like your script headers are invalid. The CgiResource tries
to parse the following headers (if present):
- status
- content-type
- location
I don't remember now, but i beleive at the time I implemented the
stuff I was reading the spec. If you give the beginning of what your
script produces, I might be able to help...
