texte = That makes sense. I had .shtml mapped to $WebCat.dll under 3.x, but I notice your 4.x install does not use wwwserver/isapi and $WebCat.dll with WebSite. I assumed you had your reasons, so I did nothing to the machine; I just reconfigured it so .shtml once more uses the isapi DLL.Suddenly, I have only cr/lf on my active sites! You should still fix $WebCat.exe, but I think that has completely fixed my problems with odd EOL characters.Thanks much!John Peacockp.s. I would still like to help develop a WSAPI version of $WebCat.dll, so that the authentication would work properly...Grant Hulbert wrote: > > >Thanks for the confirm.
