AW: [hobbit] Browser asks where to save bb-hostsvc.sh

[Michael.Wiegard at materna.de]

But why does it work when I use the correct IP address in bb-hosts-file?

Links in the trends column also work fine (Link-alt-text is: trends:green: - without 0.0.0.0).

When a download the file there is NOTHING in it; size 0k.

Must be your web-server...

If you do download it, then what's in the file - a shell script, or 
an HTML document ?

If it's a shell script, then your cgi directories are not seen as such,
and you're just getting the shell script sent back to you as a plain
file. If it's an HTML document, then the CGI program runs and generates
the correct response - in that case, I suspect that your webserver
doesn't provide the right Content-type header, although the Hobbit CGI
programs all try their best to set this correctly.

If you've got something like "curl" installed then running 
   curl -i http://hobbit-cgi/..... |more
will show you the headers sent by the webserver. If you dont have that,
then you can just telnet to the webserver on port 80, and send it
   GET http://hobbit-cgi/.....
   <hit enter twice>
