SYMPTOMS
If a CGI application that is designed to return non-parsed headers has an "nph-" prefix in the application name, the headers are stripped and not sent to client. This problem occurs after you apply Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 6 (SP6), or later, hot fixes for Internet Information Server (IIS).
CAUSE
This is a regression to another fix that was created to handle headers when you use CGI output in an .stm or .shtml page. By using the #EXEC CGI directive in an .stm page, you can execute a CGI application and have the contents merged with the rest of the .stm page. To facilitate this correctly, a fix was created that strips the headers from CGI applications. This corrected the SSINC scenario, but caused stand-alone "nph-" CGI applications not to send any headers to the client.
