It would be useful to write unit tests. Some codes need to send headers.
Thank you.

Description:
------------
Calling headers_list() from the CLI version of PHP always returns an empty
array, ignoring the results of previous calls to header(), despite the fact
that they are already tracked internally.
As some background, I'm attempting to write a pure PHP bootstrap development
HTTP server to help programmers easily create new development environments and
for lightweight standalone webapps that don't need a fully featured web-server
to deploy.
One of the things I'm trying to accomplish with this is to enable out of the
box usage on various *nix distros and Mac OSX. The PHP-CGI SAPI is perfect for
my project, but it isn't always installed by default (certainly not on OSX), so
I'm attempting to make it work with the CLI version.
I've managed to work around most of the limitations I've run up against, but
this headers_list() always returning an empty array is a complete show-stopper.
Without being able to retrieve the list, apps that set any kind of custom
headers (including cookies), can never work correctly.
I've attached a one-line patch to enable headers_list() to function in the CLI
SAPI. Another (probably better) option would be to create an ini file setting
to determine which behavior to exhibit. I'd be happy to do the dev work for
that and submit the revised patch.
Test script:
---------------
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
header('Location: asdf');
$list = headers_list();
var_dump($list);
Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(23) "X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.5"
[1]=>
string(14) "Location: asdf"
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(0) {
}
