Description

When trying to transfer a file from a PHP script a 0x0a byte is inserted at the beginning of the file. I guess this is a mistach between php-fastcgi and lighttpd handling of the number of carriage return after headers.

Script is of the form:

$filename=strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S').'.tar';
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: "application/x-tar"');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filename.'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
header('Pragma: pulic');
header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");
header('Connection: close');
flush();
echo "test";
//passthru('/bin/tar -C '.$arch.' -cO *-*-*T*:*:*');
exit;

Find in attachement the file I get from downloading. I expected "test\n" and got "\ntest\n".
Also find The Ethereal related tcp stream.

The same happened in version 1.4.19. I am under linux, PHP version: 5.2.6.

Your upload contains a Set-Cookie header, so you didn't show us the complete source. Your .php files probably just contain an empty line somewhere which gets included in the output.

This is part of a codeigniter application so headers may be inserted outside my application but I don't see where an empty line would modify the output in PHP unless there as a hidden echo "" somewhere.
I will try with a pristine script and reopen the bug report if it is confirmed.

Indeed. There was a stray empty line deep in my code.

Sorry for the fuss and thanks a lot for the support.
