Thanks; of course, you're right - and when I looked a GET isn't 
returning the content-length either. And now I'm not sure if I'm having 
a problem with lack of apache knowledge or lack of ruby knowledge. Is 
there a standard ruby solution to generate headers without having to 
instantiate a CGI object on every single page? Or is that unnecessary 
and there's something I should do with mod_headers instead? (I'm using 
mod_ruby, and passing all .html files to the ERubyRun handler; running 
on Debian sarge with a vanilla apache2)

Thanks
Graham
