uploading .rtf files to the web

[RWCherry]

problem perl code: uploading .rtf files

$ppc='pphold/pp' . $cap;
open (DTION, ">","$ppc") or die "$!";
#binmode DTION;
while ($chunk=read ($cap, $data, 1024)) {
print DTION $data;
}
close DTION;

and I get this mess when displaying uploaded rtf file

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}} {\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 Can we eat here
\par Pretty please mama\par }

the original rtf file uploaded looks like this:

Can we eat here<br />
Pretty please mama

perl particulars:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI ':standard';
use DBI;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

attachment url should read

Must apologize, not upload but display of rtf that's the problem, all uploads are fine.

Perl code for display of rich text format files:

$DTION="$ppc";
open DTION or die "Cant find $DTION: $!\n";
binmode DTION;
while (<DTION>) { print; }
close DTION;

displays incorrectly

http://www.roncherry.com/ppmama/pphold/ppnew1014.rtf

displays correctly

http://www.roncherry.com/ppmama/pphold/pptoy1004.rtf

Both of those links display correctly for me.

audio pro,

What code did you use to display both files?

 

[audiopro]

I followed your links and both files worked as expected.
The 'mess' you referred to in your first post is the rtf file being displayed as a plain text file but why it works with some and not others for you is unclear.
