It doesn't make sense to treat the location header as a redirect in the second context - the location header indicates a redirect only when accompanied by a 3xx status code. Currently, PHP follows Location headers as if they are redirects regardless of the returned status code. Test script: --------------- $context = stream_context_create([ "http" => [ "method" => "POST" "header" => "Content-Length: 13" "content" => "{\"foo\":\"bar\"}", ], ]); // Returns HTTP/1.1 201 Created // Location: http://example.com/mydb/documentid // // {"status":"ok"} $fp = fopen('http://example.com/mydb', 'r', null, $context); $data = stream_get_contents($fp); list($headers, $body) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $data, 2); echo $body; Expected result: ---------------- {"status":"ok"} Actual result: -------------- {"foo":"bar"} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62524&edit=1
