#178386 - Line endings - Correction Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Initially, I said:
It's the good ol' Line Endings incompatibility: Windows uses CRLF; *NIX use (I think) just LF, etc, etc... That's why, in CodeWright, you have the option to "Windows line endings" or "UNIX line endings" or "Auto". Edit: Although such line-ending incompatibilities are, indeed, a common cause of such problems, it's not actually the case here! I've just used Fiddler to look at what the 8052.com site is actually sending, and this shows that it's a bug on the 8052.com site! When the site serves the page, it says that the "content-type" is "text/html" - this is incorrect! If the text were HTML, it would have to contain HTML tags for the line breaks - but it doesn't. Your browser doesn't show any line breaks because, as an HTML page, the content contains no (HTML) line breaks. To be correctly displayed in a browser, the text should either be wrapped in 'pre' tags, or served as "text/plain" |
