I don't know why you think that's so hard to set the response status. There's a PHP function does exactly that: http://php.net/manual/en/function.http-send-status.php According to the documentation it can set any status between 100 and 599. Etc. Anyway, we have a handshake that nukes these vulnerabilities from orbit. We should just use that instead of crossing our fingers and hoping for the best. Adam
