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) {
}
