RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #14653 Updated: Internet Explorer for Macintosh receivesbad HTTP header info from PHP Header()
This works properly on IE for Mac for redirecting users to download a file: Header(Refresh: 0;URL=http://www.mywebsite.com/junk.zip;); HOWEVER, it clears the web page which is very confusing to users. It's unsuitable for dynamic PHP sites. sigh The only other way to go, I think, is to write my own custom version of PHP's Header() function. Any other thoughts?

RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #14653 Updated: Internet Explorer for Macintosh receivesbad HTTP header info from PHP Header()
I can't find anything in the Microsoft database about this problem, and since IE 5.1 for Macintosh (for MacOS 8 and 9) was just released three days ago (and this problem is still in it), I think they're either ignoring it or are unaware.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #14653 Updated: Internet Explorer for Macintosh receivesbad HTTP header info from PHP Header()
Is the PHP Header() function defined in
the file servlet.java that's part of the
PHP source code? The routine is listed below.
If so, it would appear that PHP is depending
on a Java servlet for the actual file redirection.
FB
public void header(String data) {
// try to send the header using the most specific servlet API
// as possible (some servlet engines will add a content type
// header unless the setContentType method is called).
try {
if (data.startsWith(Content-type: )) {
response.setContentType(data.substring(data.indexOf( )+1));
} else if (data.startsWith(Location: )) {
response.sendRedirect(data.substring(data.indexOf( )+1));
} else {
int colon = data.indexOf(: );
if (colon 0) {
try {
addHeader.invoke(response, new Object[]
{ data.substring(0,colon), data.substring(colon+2) } );
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
} else {
write(data);
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
}
