| Subject: | DevPopup/HTTPHeaders.pm warnings cause issues on IIS7 |
DevPopup/HTTPHeaders.pm is spitting out warnings that can cause problems
if ran through IIS. The warnings are:-
Use of uninitialized value $parameter in pattern match (m//) at (eval
28) line 3. Use of uninitialized value in transliteration (tr///) at
(eval 28) line 4. Use of uninitialized value in join or string at
C:/inetpub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/affiliate/cpanlib/CGI/Application/Plugin/DevPopup/HTTPHeaders.pm
line 73.
IIS has a nasty habbit of sending messages aim at STDERR to STDOUT
instead, which ends up putting these warnings in your cgi's output
heading, which causes a "HTTP Error 502.2 - Bad Gateway" on IIS7 which
is very strict on the headers it receives. IIS5.1 and 6 aren't as fussy,
although you may experience other problems.
It would be ideal if these warnings could be surpressed.
A code around is to close STDERR as the start of your script.
BEGIN {
close(STDERR);
}
