Tried writing this script (PHP 4.2.3, Apache 1.3.x/2.0.x, not tried under IIS):

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n");
?>
Hello

If PHP is configured as a Module it works fine. If PHP is configured as CGI Apache breaks the output and shows its own "Internal Server Error" page. Apache was installed as out-of-the box, no special options apart PHP/CGI configuration directives. Apache error log line is:

[Wed Dec 11 18:41:38 2002] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.1 200 OK: php-cgi.exe

Is this a correct behaviour? My config is broken? Is it a bug for Apache????
Thanks
Michele

Yes, by using this distrib it works. Hovever if I run php-cgi.exe from command line I get this output:

---------------------------------------
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.0-dev

Hello
---------------------------------------

so the HTTP header gets stripped. If I change the header in header("HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error") I get this:

---------------------------------------
Status: 500
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.0-dev

Hello
---------------------------------------

thus the HTTP Header is converted to a "Status:" header line. Fine, but shouldn't Apache be able to handle "HTTP/1.1 nnn xxx" as well?

Hi,

I just spent a while investigating a simular problem to this one:-

header("HTTP/1.0 403 Unauthorized");

Was sending a header through to my machine but it was not prompting my browser to display the correct message (IE & Mozilla)

I also noted that 404's were not working either.

Cutting a long story short I manipulated my headers so they looked simular to a good 404 & came up with the following which now has the correct effect on my browser.


        <?PHP  
        header("HTTP/1.0 403 Unauthorized");
        header("Connection: Keepalive");
        header("Content-Encoding: Chunked");
	?>
	kkk

My environment is:
Redhat Linux 8.0 
Apache 2.0.40
PHP 4.2.2

I suspect this is an interaction problem between PHP 4.2.x and Apache 2.0.x .

This also started occurring on my home Linux machine after I upgraded to apache 2.0.40 and I fixed it using the same method.

Hope this helps someone
Rob

You may also want to try a latest Apache 2, many bugs were fixed between 2.0.40 & 2.0.43, which is the current version.

Not working code:
which cause: 'Internal Server Error' page
<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

?>


Working code:
