dumb cgi question

[Brian Yennie]

JB-

The content-type is independent of the language used on the server. It 
simply tells the browser the format of the data you are _sending_ to 
it. So if your script generates HTML, then it should tell the browser 
the content-type is "text/html" regardless of whether Rev or PHP is 
doing the work.

Likewise, if your Rev script was generating a JPEG, it would return 
"image/jpeg".

Technically, the same script can return any number of differnt 
content-types, it is just telling the browser "here comes data in this 
format".
