RE: HTTP 500 Error -- WEB400

OK - I'm going for the obvious stuff first;

1) Check to see that you have a well formed "header"  You know - "Content-type: 
text/html"
2) Check to see you have 2 lines of "CRLF" or carriage return line feeds... one 
after the content-type and one space after that...

After that - check to see you're sending the right lengths to the Standard Out 
API...

Now you have an Error 500 - what's the WHOLE error?  Dat's important...

Hi David,

Nothing jumps out at me -- I assume your WSLI010 program exists in library
DAVSM01CGI.  Somethings that have helped me solve these problems:

1. Start your HTTP server with the -vv (very verbose) option.  Then look at
the server job and you'll see a spool file with *lots* of detail about what
it's doing and how it's handling an incoming request:  STRTCPSVR
SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(XYZ '-vv')

2. Configure an error log as well as an access log in your HTTP
configuration. Look at both of them when you run into this kind of problem.

hth,
