note 63621 added to function.header

not strictly related to the headers function but anyway..... "if a server's 404 page is shorter than a certain amount of characters, IE will display its own 404 page." This 'feature' had me completely confused for a while. I had a small 404 during testing which simply echoed 'error'. Worked fine in firefox but not IE. I thought it was a problem with my script! (annoying....) Anyway, in my research I found someone saying that to overcome this problem you need a 404 page of 512 bytes or more. I can't confirm this figure but I increased the size of my page and now it works fine. ---- Server IP: 85.116.0.130 Probable Submitter: 86.143.0.15 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63621 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63621/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63621/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63621/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63621/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63621/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63621/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63621 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63621 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
