ID: 42969 User updated by: gustav at cst dot co dot za Reported By: gustav at cst dot co dot za -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: Windows Server 2003 PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment:
Hi, I use Wireshark to keep track of the traffic. (What is that "GET" utility you are using? Can't use network monitor to test localhost...) Here are the results of the tests using the code you gave me. Clean WAMP installation - Actually works, returns "303 See Other". IIS with FastCGI (http://www.caraveo.com/fastcgi/) interface - Still broken, and the setup that we use in production. IIS with ISAPI - *Sort of* works. Manage to get "303 Unspecified" but still no "303 See Other". Played a bit around with the code though, and the following... header('HTTP/1.1 303 See Other'); header('Location: http://www.example.com/'); ... actually works on IIS with ISAPI. Returns "303 See Other" and everything. In conclusion - This bug turns out to be bogus. (It'd be nice if header function wore improved though.) We're looking for a FastCGI replacement for IIS, but it looks like MS is finally developing just that: http://www.iis.net/default.aspx?tabid=1000051 Thanks for all the help!

Alas, it still doesn't work. If it works on your setup, I'd be very interested in finding out how/why. Have you tested it? Regards, Gustav ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-18 02:04:12] carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de According to the PHP manual for header(), you want use: | header('Location: http://www.example.com/', true, 303); Regards, Carsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-15 09:24:14] gustav at cst dot co dot za Description: ------------ This bug is identical to bug #25044. When a form is posted to a PHP script, and that script wants to forward the browser to another page, the correct HTTP response header code is 303. But, when setting the "Location" HTTP header using the header() function, PHP automatically changes the HTTP response status to "302 Found". This is important because some mobile browsers (Specifically Motorola V360 and Nokia 6310i) will *not* immediately redirect a script that received a post when the code is 302, but *will* when the code is 303. I have recreated this problem on both IIS 6 and Apache. NOTE: The suggested workarounds in bug #25044 do *not* work. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php header('Status: 303 See Other'); header('Location: http://www.example.com/'); die(); ?> ---OR--- <?php header('HTTP/1.1 303 See Other'); header('Location: http://www.example.com/'); die(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- HTTP/1.1 303 See Other Location: http://www.example.com/ Actual result: -------------- HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Location: http://www.example.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42969&edit=1
