Description:
------------
When setting response code to 304 from within PHP code, a "Content-Type:" header is always added when PHP is compiled within Apache 1.3x whereas it is not for Apache 2.x

This makes Apache 1.3x/PHP non compliant with RFC HTTP/1.1 for 304 responses in the case where a weak validator is used (Content-Type MUST not be returned).

Reproduce code:
---------------
mytest1.php
<?
header( "HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified" );
?>

Expected result:
----------------
telnet localhost 80
GET /mytest1.php HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 14:10:06 GMT
Server: Apache
Connection: close




Actual result:
--------------
telnet localhost 80
GET /mytest1.php HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 14:10:06 GMT
Server: Apache
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: close

I have patched the mod_php4.c file to use send_error_response apache function instead of send_http_headers for 304 responses. You should also check if send_error_response shall also be used for non-200 responses and if its second param (recursive call) shall be set to 0 or 1.

static int sapi_apache_send_headers(sapi_headers_struct *sapi_headers TSRMLS_DC)
{
        request_rec *r;

        if(SG(server_context) == NULL) { /* server_context is not here anymore */
                return SAPI_HEADER_SEND_FAILED;
        }
        r = (request_rec *) SG(server_context);
        r->status = SG(sapi_headers).http_response_code;
        if( r-> status==304 )
        {
         send_error_response( r, 0 );
        }
        else
        {
         send_http_header((request_rec *) SG(server_context));
        }
        return SAPI_HEADER_SENT_SUCCESSFULLY;
}

Your patch is upside down, but the idea is sound.  I'll have a look.

Fixed in CVS

This patch do not allow to send any extra headers now. 
The solution is bad.
It need remove Content-Type header only.
