| Subject: | CGI::Carp::fatalsToBrowser should return status 500 in case of error |
When using CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser), fatal errors are reported with
a 200 OK status instead of a 500 Internal Server Error.
Using :
- ActiveState perl 5.8.8 through an easyPHP 2.0 (apache 2.2.3) server on
Windows XP SP2, CGI 3.20 and CGI::Carp 1.29 (also tested with the latest
distribution CGI::3.29 and CGI::Carp 1.29),
- Perl 5.8.5 on a CentOS 4 x86_64 with apache 2.0.52, CGI 3.05 and
CGI::Carp 1.28.
- In both cases, perl script was executed as normal CGI scripts (no
mod_perl).
I added
print STDOUT "Status: 500\n";
after the last else of fatalsToBrowser subroutine on line 577 and got it
working as expected.
