From: martin dot bundgaard at gmail dot com Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: header() documentation incorrect.
Description: ------------ The page http://php.net/header of the documentation states: "HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location: including the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients accept relative URIs." This is incorrect. According to the HTTP/1.1 specification (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.14), according to which, relative URIs _are_ acceptable and work the way you would (probably) expect them to: "If the Content-Location is a relative URI, the relative URI is interpreted relative to the Request-URI."
