#23602 [Bgs->Opn]: Can't Force HTTP/1.0 Over HTTP/1.1

ID: 23602 User updated by: hans at nyu dot edu Reported By: hans at nyu dot edu -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.7 PHP Version: 4.3.2RC2 New Comment: I believe this is a bug in PHP, or at least in how it writes headers through SAPI.c, and is not related to RFC2616 Upgrade/Switch behavior (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.42). I believe this problem is at: http://lxr.php.net/source/php4/main/SAPI.c#542 With a call such as header('HTTP/1.0 409'); the HTTP version is never even considered. The status code is the only thing that is examined and changed. And, in fact, I'm unsure why PHP/Apache would respond with a HTTP/1.1 header when given a HTTP/1.0 request. Telnetting to port 80 of my PHP/4.3.2RC2 server and issuing the following request: GET /test.php HTTP/1.0 Host: test.com will illicit a HTTP/1.1 response, even when test.php contains: header('HTTP/1.0 409'); or: header('101',TRUE,101); header('Upgrade: HTTP/1.0'); as noted as the way to "Switch" protocols in the RFC, albeit in this case, since the client is me doing a telnet and not a user agent, this would have little bearing. If someone could take another look at this I'd very much appreciate it.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php You need to "SWITCH" the protocol. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-12 18:58:41] hans at nyu dot edu I have a .php setup as an ErrorDocument under Apache 1.3.27, compiled as a DSO. When an request is made that isn't found, the page is called without issue. So, I'm trying to set a different header, for example: header('HTTP/1.0 408 Request Time-out',TRUE,408); However, the response header always ends up: HTTP/1.1 408 Request Time-out on the client. If I were to change the status code, everything works as expected, yet I can't override the HTTP version. Is this expected behavior; do I need to force changes like this in Apache's conf, or is it something that could use another look? Many thanks, Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23602&edit=1
