note 30181 rejected from function.header by didou

Note Submitter: Martin Rampersad (lastname@sympatico.ca) ---- (PHP 4.2.1, PHP 4.3.1) If you use a header('Location:...') call in your code, PHP will _always_ force your document's HTTP status code to be 302 if you don't already specify a 3XX code (unless you use http_response_code, below). However, the HTTP Specification states that an "HTTP/1.1 201 Created" is a valid status code to pair with a "Location:..." header. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30 So, I upgraded to 4.3.1 but the problem remained, luckily the http_response_code option was added to the function call. I used header('Location:...', TRUE, 201). Now my server responses were getting generated properly. Then, horror. Neither browser I used (IE 6 SP1, Mozilla/Phoenix) redirected to my location when I returned a "201 Created" code. I'm not sure if 201 was ever intended for use with automatic redirection (probably not), but since my redirects don't work with it. I'm resigned to using "HTTP/1.1 302 Found" redirects. I guess the only problem I see is PHP not letting a header('HTTP/1.1 201 Created') exist with a header('Location:...') without some forcing.
