Description:
------------
This is with Apache2 (PHP as CGI). When setting a Last-Modified header, apache/php automatically sets a 304 header and sends no body.

However if I additionally manually override the Status header with
header("Status: 200 OK");

The webserver responds with a 200 OK, however without any body. It also keeps the HTTP-Connection open until the timeout.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
header("Status: 200 OK");
header("Last-Modified: Fri, 26 Aug 2005 11:53:55 GMT");
echo "test";
?>

curl -D - -H 'If-Modified-Since: Sat, 17 Sep 2005 09:18:01 GMT' http://url

Expected result:
----------------
==
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2005 11:25:37 GMT
Last-Modified: Fri, 26 Aug 2005 11:53:55 GMT

test
==

Or alternatively:

==
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2005 11:26:16 GMT
==

Actual result:
--------------
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2005 11:25:45 GMT
Server: Apache



(and then it hangs for a while, but no body is sent [checked with Ethereal]).

Expected behaviour. Please read more about the headers at:

Hi Sniper,

thanks for your quick reply. I think there's a misunderstatement. I know HTTP headers and how they work.

Please re-read the bug-report.

I am setting 200 OK and sending a body.

Something along the way decides it should be a 304, but does NOT change the status-code. Instead it silently drops the body of the response.

I don't know what this something along the way is - it might be PHP or it might be Apache2. But I doubt that this would be expected behaviour.


Thanks for your reconsideration and effort.

Does the same thing happen under Apache1?

I was only able to test with Apache1.3 and mod_php (instead of CGI). There it does not happen, I get a regular 200 with body.

Using Apache2 and apache2handler module I get the same results as with Apache1.

Most probably related to this Apache bug/behaviour:

Can you try to see if the problem is gone with 5.2-CVS and 
latest stable Apache2 server?
