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

I had similar problem with WP REST API on IIS 8.5. Following html

    


    
Object Moved

was added at start of every json returned with Location header and status 201 Created. Content-Type was changed to text/html; charset=UTF-8.

Adding cgi.rfc2616_headers = 1 in php.ini resulted with:

• clean body (json) without added html
• correct "Content-Type"
• "Location" header missing
• Status chaged to 200 OK

I wouldn't call this solution, this is more replacing one problem with another. Luckily this new problem in my situation was smaller than original one.
