Freeway creates DOS files!?

I’ve just had my Virtual Server host comment on Freeway created files, he
says:

Apache needs to be updated after adding a new domain - rebooting does just
fine. I note that the content is now being served although all the files are
in dos format. I converted index.html to plain text (backup taken as
index.html.bak) but have left the others untouched.

Never had a problem with Freeway generated files, anyone know what he means
by dos files??

Best wishes Peter

Not without seeing the files in their original state, no. Freeway has
an option where it will create DOS-friendly filenames (8 letter name,
dot, three letter extension), and it can save files with a number of
different line-endings to favor different filesystems. But there’s
nothing special about DOS that it would be something you could call
what Freeway makes. All they are are text files. You can’t “convert”
them to plain text – that’s how they started life.

Is this a Macintosh Web server? If not, switch the line-endings to
Unix and see if that makes any difference to your server person. Most
servers seriously do not care, since the code (if correctly and
validly formed) doesn’t actually need any line-breaks to be understood
by the browser.
