Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

I think something like this was fixed in 4.3.4..

Please note in the submission that there is a deeper issue than the
cache headers. The simple script (no session):

<?php
 header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
 readfile("tj.jar");
?>

DOES NOT WORK FOR ANY BROWSER
The JAVA file is ALWAYS treated as corrupt!
This has nothing to do with session cache headers, it appears to be an
issue around the chunk transfer encoding under HTTP 1.1 (the hex number
appended to the header). When a session is present, the behaviour is
_better_, but by no means right.

There is currently a post on the php.general newsgroup around a similar
issue:
-> HTTP1.1 problems maybe? posted by Shawn McKenzie, answered by Chris
Shiflett
On his example, he is getting a stray '7d3' in the same place I am
seeing the '2000', and it is breaking his code.

RTFM about header() and session. There are couple of dozen user
comments about how to set the cache headers correctly in these cases.

("../_JAVARES/car/jammer.jar"); should read 'tj.jar' in 2nd sample.
Sorry :)

Description:
------------
I have a problem trying to redirect a request for a Java .jar through
PHP. I am using PHP 4.3.2 on my Apache test server on Windows, and PHP
4.3.3 on my real Debian webserver. The problem is the same for both
setups.

If I access the .jar directly (no PHP) & use a packet sniffer, I get
returned:

<HTTP headers, Content-Type: text/html >
CRLF CRLF      // End of header?
190 CRLF       // unknown value
<.jar file>

If I use a simple script with just a readfile, I get returned:

<HTTP headers, Content-Type: text/html >
CRLF CRLF      // End of header?
<.jar file>

This request fails to load in any Java VM, which claims the jar is
corrupt. The '190' has mysteriously disappeared.

My real PHP script includes a session to make sure the user is
accessing the jar from our web page only (script appended). This
gives:

<HTTP headers, Content-Type: text/html >
CRLF CRLF      // End of header?
2000 CRLF      // value now changed!
<.jar file>

This request will work fine with: IE6 & Microsoft VM 1.1, and IE6,
Netscape, Mozilla with Sun VM 1.4+. It does not load correctly if I use
Opera (any VM), or Java 1.3 (any browswer). Changing session cache
controls make no difference.

The main issues are - 
    What is the '190'?
    Why does the plain readfile() not send it?
    Why does the session turn it into '2000' which breaks some
browswers?

Thank you for your time,

Dom




Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
 // This fails always
 header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
 readfile("tj.jar");
?>

<?php
 // This works always
 header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
 header("\n\n190\n");
 readfile("../_JAVARES/car/jammer.jar");
?>

<?php
 // This sometimes fails depending on browser/VM
 session_start();
 header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
 readfile("tj.jar");
?>
