WP returns invalid status headers when PHP runs as CGI

[tenpura]

When PHP runs via CGI, the HTTP status header will not be correctly set.

for example,

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

returns "404 OK".
To get the expected result, the code needs to be written like

header('Status: 404 Not Found');

instead.

Detailed Information: ​http://drupal.org/node/175855

Sending the proper header requires two lines (First gives the error code, the other gives the status-message)

header("HTTP/1.1 410 Gone");
header('status: 410 Gone');

Unified patch plus explanatory comment

Duplicate of #7361.

functions.php is not fixed yet.

See 8226.diff.

tenpura, the problem won't be solved twice as fast when there are two tickets fixing the same problem. The other ticket also has a patch which does the same thing.

Closing again as duplicate of #7361. If you wish to add your updated patch to #7361, then please do so.
