I can't answer your question, but I can say you might consider installing
the package dos2unix.  It includes the commands dos2unix and unix2dos for
converting the line endings in ascii files automatically.  I won't convert
what doesn't need converting, either.  So you can run "dos2unix" twice on
the same file and still have the Unix format file.  You can run it in
binaries (images, programs) and it won't corrupt them.

Convert your entire website at once:

$ find /var/www | xargs -r dos2unix

I hope this helps!
