Strange Link behavior
This link:
http://www.qdice.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?id=134

Should take you to this site: http://comerio.homestead.com

But instead, it wants to download something when click on. It will however work find if you just go to the site's url above. ??

Why is this happening, is somehow the jump CGI getting confused ?

Hi

Not 100% sure but should id not be ID, I checked my copy of links and yes it is in capitals, are you on a unix server, unix is CaSe SeNsItIvE.

Try this it might help

Good Luck

Yes, the parameter should be ID. But the problem is that you have not re-built your index and therefore the url.db is not updated, which means that the link you are trying to access is not found and thus, the jump.cgi script chokes.
