#31519 [Opn]: Setting Status: 559 works using php-cgi but not using Apache 2 module

ID: 31519 Updated by: jed@php.net Reported By: trevor dot wekel at autodesk dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: From the HTTP/1.1 spec, §6.1.1: "For example, if an unrecognized status code of 431 is received by the client, it can safely assume that there was something wrong with its request and treat the response as if it had received a 400 status code." 5xx is treated as 500 by applications that don't understand it. Why this behavior pops up in SAPI but not CGI, I'm not sure. Perhaps Apache 2 does not parse CGI return codes, but does for built-in modules? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-12 17:09:09] trevor dot wekel at autodesk dot com Description: ------------ The following PHP script returns different HTTP response status codes when run using php-cgi.exe and run as a Apache module. Versions of software installed: PHP 5.0.3 zip donwloaded from Php.net http://www.php.net/get/php-5.0.3-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror Apache 2.0.52 from Apache.org http://apache.secsup.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.0.52-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi I can also post my httpd.conf and php.ini files if required. No special tweaking was done other than the standard PHP setup for Apache 2 documented here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php Reproduce code: --------------- <?php header("HTTP/1.1 559 CustomError"); header("Status: 559 CustomError"); echo "<html>\n"; echo "<body>\n"; echo "Error on page!!!\n"; echo "</body>\n"; echo "</html>\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- I would expect to see an HTTP response status code of 559 returned when running under both the php-cgi and the Apache 2 module. Actual result: -------------- When running under php-cgi, the 559 HTTP response status code is returned. When under the Apache 2 module, an HTTP 500 Internal Error is returned. Note: The "Status:" line is returned correctly but it does not match the response status code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31519&edit=1
