17557,"AtomPub service sends duplicate status headers, breaking FastCGI",dwc,,"The AtomPub service (wp-app.php) sends duplicate Status headers when authorization is not provided, which breaks on FastCGI setups. This is seen when you attempt to connect to the service using e.g. [https://github.com/calavera/Ape Ape], resulting in the following error message in the Apache logs:
{{{
[Wed May 25 16:09:21 2011] [error] [client 10.5.62.176] FastCGI: comm with server ""/tmp/webadmin_test"" aborted: error parsing headers: duplicate header 'Status'

This results in a 500 Internal Server Error from Apache:

Patch attached to refactor Status headers in wp-app.php to use the {{{status_header}}} function like most of the code uses. There's also a function that handles which I have refactored to use {{{wp_redirect}}}. Affects all versions back to 2.9.2, including trunk.
