Interesting.. their suggestion on the headers to return given in this document is not CGI compliant.
A CGI compliant version of their example would be
print "Status: 200 OK\n"; print "Content-Type: text/html\n";
where the first line is optional (default if not given).
I wonder if IIS6 really implements the CGI interface or if they have diverted using their own variant again... Their example is somewhat reasonable for a NPH script extept that some required HTTP headers is missing for being a NPH script, but at all reasonable for CGI.
The CGI "current practice" standard is documented in RFC3875, available from http://www.squid-cache.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~squid3/doc/rfc/rfc3875.txt or your favorite Internet RFC mirror
There is however one relevant bug in cachemgr.cgi. It outputs \r\n line endings in the header section where CGI mandates \n line endings. And if the Windows version outputs in ascii mode then this risks getting even worse (\r\r\n) quite likely confusing matters.
