LiveCodeServer - Prints shebang line

[Peter W A Wood]

I've found that if you run a LiveCode script with a shebang line as a cgi script, the LiveCode Server process does not terminate (even with a quit command).

I ran this simple script:

	#!<full path to>/livecode-server

	set the outputLineEndings to "lf"
	put "Content-type: text/html" & crlf & crlf
	put "<p>Hello from a LiveCodeServer CGI script</p>" & return
	quit

It runs successfully from the command line:

	$ ./livecode.cgi
	Content-type: text/html

	<p>Hello from a LiveCodeServer CGI script</p> 

When I run the script as a CGI the LiveCode Server process does not end and has to be cancelled.

I was using LiveCode Server 6.6.1 on OS X 10.9.4

If somebody can confirm this I will submit a bug report.

Regards

Peter

I really didn't get much of a chance to experiment with it but it was merged in. Unfortunately I can't remember which version of LC but perhaps try one of the latest server versions???
