W7 Pro IIS 7.5 overwrites PHP Location: Header

Question

I am creating a RESTful API in PHP, and have encountered a problem. When the client is posting data to the server, the server should return:

Status code 201          


        

Answer 1

The solution was to create an IIS module, that rewrites the header "Custom-Location" to "Location" after FastCGI is done.

Then, FastCGI won't know that we are sending a Location header at all, and it won't modify my response.

The module:

string Location = context.Response.Headers["Custom-Location"] as string;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Location))
{
    context.Response.Headers.Remove("Custom-Location");
    context.Response.AddHeader("Location", Location);
}

PHP:

header("Custom-Location: http://google.no",true,201);
header("Content-Type: application/xml");
echo "";

(still dummy code, not extremly correct code :) )
