[BusyBox] httpd POST problem with IE

[Miles Roper]

Pretty sure its not segfaulting.  

Tried the below test previously and looks fine :o(

If you want to have a look at the problem feel free :o)  I can give you any
help with how to reproduce it, or how the scripting works.

I have the packet traces from ethereal but just haven't had time to go
through them yet.

I have seen the same error occurring on a weirdly inconsistent basis 
when my cgi scripts were segfaulting half way through.  My CGI was 
written in C and was segfaulting due to carelessly memsetting more than 
I malloced!

Double-check whether your script is seg-faulting.

You could also check that your CGI-script is returning reasonable HTTP 
headers.  Try "telnet <IPADDRESS> 80" and then type "GET 
/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi HTTP/1.0" followed by two new-lines, and examine 
the response.  It should return at least a "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" or similar.
