PHP Bug Type: CGI related
Bug description: Location header results in duplicate Status header ([f]cgi
only)
Description:
------------
In php-fastcgi, a header("Location: ..") call always results in an
additional "Status:" header. This causes the web server to throw a 500
Internal server error.
Identical code works perfectly in mod_php. The problem is specific to
fastcgi.
It doesn't matter what Status code the first header() call sends; the
"Location:" call always adds a second "Status: 302" line.
The effect is, that it becomes impossible to use header("Location;..."),
if at any previous point in the script a Status header has been sent. It
is also contrary to what the documentation says:
http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
"The second special case is the "Location:" header. Not only does it send
this header back to the browser, but it also returns a REDIRECT (302)
status code to the browser unless some 3xx status code has already been
set."
(Note the last part of that paragraph)
Related: This seems to be what was happening in this bug report as well:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33225 which unfortunately was closed as
bogus.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$ echo "<?php header( 'Status: 301' );header( 'Location:
http://www.example.org' );?>" | php/php-fastcgi/php5-fcgi
Expected result:
----------------
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Status: 301
Location: http://www.example.com
Actual result:
--------------
Status: 302
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Status: 301
Location: http://www.example.com
