Using the format
In bb-hosts:

the browser asks where to save bb-hostsvc.sh
This is reported from time to time - usually with the "client data"
links.
First check that your webserver has the hobbit-cgi directory configured
as a "CGI" directory, i.e. it will run the bb-hostsvc.sh program rather
than just downloading the shell script. If the bb-hostsvc.sh CGI works
for some links but not for others, then that is not your problem.
In that case, it probably is a problem with the browser. If you do save
the data to a file, I think you'll see that it is a perfectly valid HTML
document that's been sent. Since the data sent from your webserver to
your browser is HTML, and the webserver also sends a valid
"content-type" header, your browser should present it as an HTML page,
instead of asking you to save it.
Internet Explorer seems prone to this in some setups, whereas I haven't
heard of it being an issue with Firefox. I suspect it is some security
setting inside IE that triggers it - or perhaps it's just a bug.
As an example, this link
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=localhost&SERVICE=info
is the "info" column page for a host with no domain name and a 0.0.0.0
address in bb-hosts. Does that work in your browser?
