Hi Thomas,

This is really strange problem. :-)

I don't know the answer, but I am pretty confident that you're not going
to be able to eliminate headers through your PHP code. This is a
question that an Apache expert might have a solution to, although I'd be
surprised if you could force Apache to misbehave, which is exactly what
you're wanting.

I think your solution is going to wind up being to write your own "web
server" that does not correctly adhere to the protocol, because I doubt
you'll find existing software to do this.

There is a web server written in PHP (odd, I know), that you can
possibly hack to eliminate the HTTP header output. It's called Nanoweb:

Hope that helps. Let us know how it goes. :-)
