it is clear. The problem were not the "ns_set update" or the "ns_set 
put" commands itself, but the fact, that the key "content-type" was in 
lower-case and the normalization of the output headers was causing the 
crash. Some ages ago, it was possible to set two different header values 
with upper and lower case keys, leading to some unspecified behaviors in 
browsers.

by your parameter list, you will get the newest version from git.... 
which is the unreleased version of NaviServer 5. If one specifies the 
branch as well, different versions can be installed from git. E.g.,

     ... version_ns=GIT git_branch_ns=release/4.99 ....

installs the newest version from the release/4.99 branch, what you 
probably want.
But one can use as well arbitrary tags. For example

     ... version_ns=GIT git_branch_ns=naviserver-4.99.16  ....

will checkout the released version of NaviServer 4.99.16 via git.

When you use the docker image from oupfiz5, these are still based on 
4.99.24 (released on 2022-06-14, a year ago).


Anyhow, when do you need a release?


all the best
