Description:
------------
hi, if i want only to send an http status code in php with the function header()
i must specify something on the first parameter otherwise the header is not sent

i want only to set 404 status code.. but none of those works

header("", TRUE, 404);
header(NULL, TRUE, 404);

but i need to use

header("X-Totally-Useless: true", TRUE, 404);

is this a bug?

thank you

As documented at http://php.net/header, you would do it like this:

header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");

hi rasmus it's an honor to talk with you :)

header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] . " 404 Not Found");

you don't think that this is actually hard to manage?

in plus, it is implemented in user space when it is already implemented by php

i don't like this

to make writing these things to the user increases the risk of bugs / incompatibilities with clients
