It should contain "the best available approximation of the date and time of message generation". https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.1.2 Usually, it's the webserver's task to add this header. For instance, the header is magically present in responses coming from an Apache webserver with mod_php. PHP's build-in webserver on the other hand does not add that header. Strangely enough, it sends a Host header with the response (copied from the request), although that header is afaik a request-only header. Test script: --------------- php -S localhost:8080 any-script.php Expected result: ---------------- GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 04 Jan 2016 16:36:54 GMT Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 <!-- The actual content --> Actual result: -------------- GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost HTTP/1.1 200 OK Host: localhost Connection: close X-Powered-By: PHP/7.0.1 Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 <!-- The actual content --> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71276&edit=1
