Hit counters not displaying in Windows XP

[zomega42]

I have a hit counter that is a simple perl script that increases the count and sends an image. It's called in an IMG tag as /cgi-bin/counter.pl?nnnn and used to work perfectly.

Anyway, it doesn't display on internet explorer in windows XP. It works fine in opera, netscape, etc.

Has anyone had this problem?

Most likely the Content-type header generated by the script is incorrect. If that is ok, the format of the image is probably incorrect (but acceptable to some browsers).

The content-type is image/x-xbitmap. I think the image is ok, it has worked on every previous version of internet explorer, it just doesn't work on windows XP.

I guess I will just go out looking for another script if nobody has seen this before. I came across one blog where the same exact problem was mentioned, but without a solution...

I presume the image is uncached. If however, it was received incorrectly once, it is possible that a cached error is causing the problem. Try clearing the cache.

Hi,

Thanks!

And about this? No answer? Nobody knows the solution for this?
Anybody knows about another graphic perl counter without x-xbitmap?
