Bug description: PHP "Safe"-Mode not identifiable in X-Powered-By header
Description:
------------
PHP sends an "X-Powered-By" header with each request answer, containing a
PHP version string. It's also included with the Apache id in its "Server"
header.
This version information however misses important informations - for
example which sort of PHP is running over there.
If PHP is running in crippled mode, it should identify itself as
"SM-PHP/5.03" or just "S/M-PHP" or so. This would significantly benefit
the Web hosting provider industry, since fewer contracts would be
discarded again after customers find out that they've only be given
"Safe"-Mode PHP.
Incorrectly advertising features ("PHP" instead of "S/M-PHP") counts as
mischief in central Europe. *hint,hint*
(Given, that there is always either Python or Perl running on "safe"-moded
Webservers, it's obvious that this setting was made for dumb providers. No
need to discuss that again here; no?)
