Description:
------------
URL Rewriting fails on ob_get_contents().
Note: the workaround is to have second buffering envelope which gets flushed into the first, thus triggering the URL rewrite. The two lines necessary for the workaround are commented out in the code example.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$output = <<<EOF
<html><body>
<a href=".">self link</a>
</body></html>
EOF;

ob_start();
// *** ob_start();
session_start();
echo $output;
// *** ob_end_flush();
$data = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo '<xmp>';
if (defined('SID'))
	echo 'URL should be rewritten having: ', SID, "\n";
else
	echo "No SID, no rewritten URL\n";
echo "<xmp>$data</xmp>";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
URL should be rewritten having: PHPSESSID=667e6b2bde474a2820c8e0f8dc41200f
<html><body>
<a href=".?PHPSESSID=667e6b2bde474a2820c8e0f8dc41200f">self link</a> </body></html>

Actual result:
--------------
URL should be rewritten having: PHPSESSID=667e6b2bde474a2820c8e0f8dc41200f
<html><body>
<a href=".">self link</a> </body></html>

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Thanks for your omments that this is not a bug - IMHO it is actually a bug, not a feature.
URL rewriting should happen at the final stage, when the output is actually flushed back to the client, not at any other obscure location within the PHP output buffers.

I'll post a comment on the respective manual page (which I have read and fully understood ;->)
