PHP version: 5.0.2
PHP Bug Type: HTTP related
Bug description: HTTP "302" status header contains no description causing
failure on clients.
Description:
------------
I've noticed that the browsers in many mobile handsets fail to understand
HTTP responses that don't contain a description after the status code.
This is often a problem when using the header('Location:
http://somewhere/') function in PHP scripts. This function sets the HTTP
status code to 302 so that the client can redirect to the given location.
Unfortunately the description "Found" is missing behind that status header
so many mobile clients just croak when they recieve the response.
Adding a status description. Just rip them from here:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec6.html#sec6
When it comes to what is not following the HTTP standards exactly in this
case, then I think it's PHP as I can't see anywhere that the status
description is something optional:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec6.html#sec6
Reproduce code:
---------------
header('Location: http://www.php.net');
Expected result:
----------------
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http://www.php.net/
Actual result:
--------------
HTTP/1.1 302
Location: http://www.php.net/
