Req #63897 [Opn]: Custom http stream wrappers should be able to set $http_response_header

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63897&edit=1 ID: 63897 User updated by: slangley at google dot com Reported by: slangley at google dot com Summary: Custom http stream wrappers should be able to set $http_response_header Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Streams related PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The idea is to be able to replace the built-in http(s) stream wrappers with custom versions and have that work with *existing* applications, a heap of which already use $http_response_header. If you can't replicate the environment 100% with the custom wrapper then you're stuck.

From http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.httpresponseheader.php "$http_response_header will be created in the local scope." There is no way that I can determine that allows a PHP script to create this variable "in the local scope". Perhaps it would be possible to provide a method "set_http_response_header" that will allow this variable to be set from a script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63897&edit=1
