Quick CGI question: doing nothing?

[David Bovill]

Thanks Andre, I have tried a bunch of variations and think I must be making
a basic error as I am getting nothing but "Internal server errors". What's
wrong with this script:

on startup
   put "Do nothing" into buffer
   -- put "HTTP/1.1 204" && buffer & crlf & crlf

   put "HTTP/1.0 204 my descriptive text"
   put "Content-Type: text/html" & CR
   put "Content-Length: "& length(buffer) & crlf & crlf
   -- write buffer to stdout

   quit
end startup
