Subject:   Cgi help - malformed header from script. Bad header

Hi,
FBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p10, Apache2.

My first cgi-bin program.
I have the following files in /usr/local/www/cgi-bin:
Cal (-rwxr-xr-x)
Calendar (-rw-r--r-- typical calendar file to display 'today in
history')

Cal contains the following lines:
#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/plain
/usr/bin/calendar
------
If I cd to /usr/loca/www/cgi-bin, and do ./cal,
I get the echo, plus the expected output.

When I request, http://howse.no-ip.org/cgi-bin/cal
I get an Internal Server Error.
The error logfile says:
Malformed header from script. Bad header=3DOct 1	Jimmy Carter born,
192,:cal

ScriptAlias is defined properly in httpd.conf, and I get the proper
output from test-cgi.

I've read the Apache2 documentation on CGI, and troubleshooting errors,
no joy.

How can I fix this?


Thanks,
Charles
