As I’ve had to implement HTTP myself for a particular non-PHP application, I’ve read the original HTTP/1.1 RFC. As far as I know, multi-line headers are semantically equivalent to single-line headers, so couldn’t we just “flatten” them automatically? It shouldn’t break anything unless you’re deliberately misusing header(). -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
