1. Baffling iPlanet header response

iPlanet Web Server 4.1 SP1 under Solaris 8

This simple perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: application/pdf\n\n";
print `cat testfile.pdf`;

causes the server to send fifteen (15) header chunks like so:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 20:25:16 GMT
Content-type: application/pdf
Connection: close

[repeat 14 times]

then this one:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2001 20:25:16 GMT
Content-type: application/pdf
Content-length: 4535
Connection: close

then finally the PDF itself.

This doesn't happen with any other MIME type, just PDF. All
that header junk causes older Acrobat plugins to barf.

Anyone have a clue as to why in the world this is happening?
