I am running PHP 4.0B2 as a module in Apache (1.3.6) (./configure --with-mysql --enable-track-vars --with-apache=../apache-1.3.6).  The specific distribution is SuSE 6.2.

Here's the problem (I think it's a bug, but I'm not sure; I haven't been able to find any concrete information on this)...  I have a client that calls a PHP script, and specifies "Connection: Keep-Alive" in the GET stream.  This client is using HTTP/1.0.

The PHP script attempts to also keep "keep-alive" turned on by having a "header("Connection: Keep-alive")" at the very top of the script.

However, what gets sent back to the client is "Connection: Keep-alive, close".  It seems that PHP is always closing the connection after the script finishes executing.

I've tested this in various ways.  If I don't invoke a PHP script, the client's keep-alive works and the connection stays active.  

I've noticed that PHP 3 just plain *ignores* the keep-alive; in other words, it *always* inserts a "Connection: close" in the return stream.

Is this the way it's supposed to work?  Shouldn't PHP leave the "Connection:" alone if a script specifies one?

Thanks, and if this isn't a bug, I apologize.
