Hi,

Analog version is:     analog-6.0.3
OS verison:  Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)
                         Kernel 2.6.9-89.ELsmp
Web server is:     IBM IHS(apache) ver 6.1

Analog form returns expected result  from anlgform.html when I use FireFox
web browser on windows or AIX.
But when I submit the same anlgform.html form using IE 7, then IE shows me
anlgform.pl, rather than running it.

I have anlgform.pl in my cgi-bin directory and I am sure it's configured OK
because analog.pl works just fine when using FireFox. Also other .pl
scripts in my cgi-bin dir work just fine with IE7.

I am at a loss, any ideas why IE7 is failing?

BTW, I connected to my webserver as a https client from an AIX command line
to see what analog was retunring this is what I saw:.
(Note: I added html comment tags here in case this email is posted at a
website)

also, running anlgform.pl directly at the command line returns this:
