Why PHP don't send the Content-Length header? (and others)

[daniminas]

Hi guys,

 

I'm posing here because i've a very strange issue, and i can't find anything about.. it is about headers.

 

Normally, when i do a request, the servers says:

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Date: Wed, 06 May 2009 19:47:47 GMT
  Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.5.1 PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny2 with Suhosin-Patch
  X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny2
  Content-Length: 7470
  Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
  Connection: Keep-Alive
  Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Length: 7470 (7.3K) [text/html]

 

Great, it works.

 

But, if the response 'length' is great than 'some' size (somthing like >= 7.3K) it just removes these headers: {Content-Length:, Keep-alive:, and sets the connection as: Connection: closed}

 

The result is:

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Date: Wed, 06 May 2009 19:42:48 GMT
  Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.5.1 PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny2 with Suhosin-Patch
  X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny2
  Connection: close
  Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"
Length: unspecified [text/html]

 

Don't misunderstand, the content is ok(and contains the right result), the problem is that i need those headers(i need them!!).. and don't know why the heck is PHP doing that?!!

 

Btw, was so hard to realize that was the problem 

 

Thanks for any advice or comment
