Re: CGI error: incomplete headers?

You might want to double check your location commands... Maurice's omits a necessary space between "Location:" and the URL - this space MUST be here... ie header("Location: xxxx") is correct but header("Location:xxxx") is not. Chaz's header statement seems to omit the colon... maybe it's a typo in the email, but if the colon is omitted from the source file itself, that very well could be causing some sort of problem. Specifically, header("Location .../list.php?f=1") will not work, but header("Location: .../list.php?f=1") will. As a side-note, I see no reason for three dots at the beginning of that URL. That could also be throwing things off. If I hadn't noticed these two things to be errors, I probably wouldn't have commented on this thread because I don't see any reason for a POST to work but not a GET. I've been doing this on Win2k/PHP4/IIS5 for 6 months at least with no problems...
