Re: How to force CRLF on non .txt files when directory browsing?

[Jonathon Veencamp <jdveencamp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good suggestion Jeff, but it won't be instructive as the local end of line delimiter will be linux vs Windows

 

beta1linux:/opt/local/logs/Websphere_7.0_logs/w70edu1 # telnet 127.0.0.1 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /links/@_View_AppServer_Logs/@DEV_BETA_server_logs/Websphere_7.0_logs/w70edu1/test.log.txt
one
two
Connection closed by foreign host.

So at least you can see how it displays on linux.  But what is more significant is if it is sending a hex 0D 0A  (CR/LF) after each line, or just a 0A.  In the case of .log files, the HTTP server is only sending a 0A  (LF).

 

Gosh, I can't be the only one that has ever tried to solve this problem!

 

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, I do appreciate your guys time.

no, Apache doesn't do that

I dunno if because of some misunderstood config the "text/plain" isn't
getting to the browser, or if the browser thinks its smarter than the
server.

Try this:

create a very small .log file

replace /example/small.log with the real request URI; if you're using
name-based vhosts, replace 127.0.0.1 with your hostname

C:\> telnet 127.0.0.1 80
GET /example/small.log HTTP/1.1<enter>
Host: 127.0.0.1<enter>
<enter>

See what is displayed for "Content-Type:" just prior to the contents
of the log file.
