Python CGI problem: correct result, but incorrect browser response.

title:Python CGI problem: correct result, but incorrect browser
response.

In one of my CGI program,named 'login.py', the script return a HEADER
to web browser:

Set-Cookie: sessionID=LAABU QLUCZIQJTZDWTFE ;
Set-Cookie: username=testus er;
Status:302
Location:edit.p y
(blank line)

but the IE prompted to let me choose to save the 'login.py'. When I
save it, the file is just the header. That means the IE failed to parse
the header. My IE has already enabled cookie read and write. I also
tried Firefox, but the result is the same. How does this happen?

Perhaps you should show us the script. Is it possible that you have
already printed a "Content-Type" header and blank line before these
headers, or perhaps just a blank line? Remember that this will fail:

print """
Set-Cookie: sessionID=LAABU QLUCZIQJTZDWTFE ;
Set-Cookie: username=testus er;
Status:302
Location:edit.p y
"""

because you get a blank line first, which terminates the headers.
