corrupted GIF through CGI

[Seung Chan Lim]

This is on apache 1.3 python 2.2 (straight up cgi) on a windows
machine

The following is the code I have

#!d:\progra~1\python22\python.exe
buf = (open("generic.gif", "rb")).read()

print """Content-Type: image/gif
Content-Length: %d
"""%(len(buf))
print buf


This code shows the gif perfectly fine under LINUX running APACHE 1.3
and python 1.5

but it shows a half truncated and mutated image on WINDOWS runnin
APACHE 1.3 and python 2.2

Can anyone tell me why? Is this a result of some internal change from
python 1.5 to python 2.2 or is it a linux vs. windows issue??

thanks in advance
