Description:
------------
When using php web services with Adobe Flex/Flash/AIR , error handling is a major pain. 

If I have a simple web service that throws a SOAPFault , the http status code that is returned with the message is 500 .  This is a problem because the Flash Player ignores any message that has a status code > 200.  ( Which is understandable , status code 500 could mean the server is really in trouble ) . 

I would very much like to be able to set the 'status code' that is returned when a SOAP Fault is thrown . 

The flash player is clever enough to recognize a SOAP Error and therefore able to run the correct code from with the flash app , however this is only possible when it gets a HTTP Status code that is not > 200.



Reproduce code:
---------------
This is a feature request to be able to set the HTTP Error code that is returned from a SOAP Fault . 
Its not necessarily a bug with a PHP , other languages offer similar workarounds.

I am able to disable HTTP 500 status code for some user agents, but I don't know the exactly user agent strings.

Flash - "Shockwave Flash"
Flex  - ?
AIR   - ?

The user agent is the same for Flex and AIR ie. "Shockwave Flash" 

However it is possible to change the userAgent from with in side 
the Flash/Flex/Air app . 

Is it possible to set the  status via the SOAP call itself ?

eg:
SoapServer->setFaultStatusCode($status=500) 

perhaps ??

It makes no sense to setup status code manually (for all clients), because HTTP 500 is legal response.
I've committed the fix based on User-Agent header.

Problem do still exist. While PHP sends 200 HTTP code for SOAP Fault with User-agent = Shockwave Flash, Flash objects integrated into HTML page sends it's requests with User-agent = browser and NOT Shockwave Flash.

Thus Flash object still receive 500 Error.
