This adds proto_num to request_info. It is defaulted to HTTP 1.0 (1000)
such that it has a valid value even if the underlying sapi doesn't set it
correctly. It is then used to determine if a 302 or a 303 should be sent
on a Location redirect. Any non GET/HEAD HTTP 1.1 redirect will get a 303
instead of a 302 to be compatible with the HTTP spec.
may have ways of getting the request time without the extra syscall, but
for now let's just make sure we don't crash and people will eventually
fill these in where applicable.
used to return "" and not bool(false). It's not worth keeping it because
STR_FREE() and zval_dtor() always have to check for it and it slows down
the general case. In addition, it seems that empty_string has been abused
quite a lot, and was used not only for setting zval's but generally in
PHP code instead of "", which wasn't the intention. Last but not least,
nuking empty_string should improve stability as I doubt every place
correctly checked if they are not mistakenly erealloc()'ing it or
calling efree() on it.
NOTE: Some code is probably broken. Each extension maintainer should
check and see that my changes are OK. Also, I haven't had time to touch
PECL yet. Will try and do it tomorrow.
