Mine is the same cross browser. I've tested in Firefox 1.5, MSIE 6.0, and Opera (vWhoCaresItsOpera.0). I'm surprised yours is browser-dependant. =============================== David Worley Senior Front End Developer dworley at communityconnect.com =============================== -----Original Message----- From: mod_python-bounces at modpython.org [mailto:mod_python-bounces at modpython.org] On Behalf Of Jim Steil Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 4:56 PM To: mod_python at modpython.org Subject: Re: [mod_python] Simple Issue, Baffling I have what I think is a similar problem. My app works just fine with IE, but when I try to get at it with FireFox, I see my HTML source instead of my app. I'm really new to all this, so it may not be related. But, I'm watching for a resolution as I'm hoping it will clue me in to what I'm doing wrong as well. It happens to me with Firefox 1.5. -Jim Jim Gallacher wrote: David Worley wrote: To clarify further: http://localhost/some/file/system/directory/style.css is only ever called from an HTML file, via a <link> tag. I figured you knew that, but one never knows. ;) The HTML is valid. The HTML page is NOT generated by mod_python. It's just a plain HTML file in the folder. I created it just for testing dynamically created CSS files. The separate issue of "text/html" content is, indeed, handled by another handler. The two are unrelated. When text/css content wouldn't work, I tried something simpler: plain HTML return content. Simply put, req.write(xxx) returns content that my browser does not make use of, whether CSS or HTML, despite the explicit declaration of req.content_type. The browser just thinks it's text. It may be more accurate to say that the server never returns HTML or CSS, rather than saying that the browser never renders the file returned. Is your handler as simple as you indicated or is there other stuff going on? Any chance you are calling req.write *before* setting req.content_type? The first call to req.write triggers the sending of the response headers, which contains the Content-Type header. Once you've starting calling req.write changing req.content_type will have no effect. (Hmm, I wonder if we should actually raise an exception... ) I find that tools like wget or netcat are helpful for this sort of thing since you can dump the response headers as well as the page content. If you don't have ready access to these programs I'm sure you could know somthing together from the standard python lib. Sometimes the simplest problems have the simplest solutions.

I'm new to mod_python and somewhat new to server side programming. I've read the documentation, and I can't seem to find out something relatively simple. I'm writing a CSS preprocessor. It's meant to grab a request for a .css file, process another file and return the result to the browser. The issue I have is that I can't get the handler to return content the browser actually uses. To clarify, I'm running Apache 2.0, Python 2.4 on Windows XP. So with the following httpd.conf entry: <Directory /some/file/system/directory> AddHandler python-program .sss PythonHandler switch PythonDebug On </Directory> And the following Python code, in switch.py: from mod_python import apache def handler(req): req.content_type = "text/css" req.write("""\ body { background-color: red; }""") return apache.OK This works. It works great. When I request http://localhost/some/file/system/directory/style.css, I get the body declaration above. BUT the browser doesn't use it! Maybe I don't understand the question but why would it? The browser only uses the stylesheet to render the page when it's specified in an html <style> tag. I have the same problem when declaring req.content_type = "text/html": the code is returned properly, but it isn't rendered as HTML. It's just text, as far as the browser is concerned. You got me there, unless you are saying you are getting the python code as opposed to the html you send with req.write. Are you writing valid html? Any chance there is a typo in req.content_type = 'text/html'? Are you using a different handler for generating the html? It would help if you can clarify your problem a little.
