Had this bookmarked to implement and got to it today. I had looked how it works in WP natively and noticed that it uses wrapper functions to handle headers in this situation:

status_header( 500 );
nocache_headers();

First function additionally checks for protocol. Second sets multiply headers to prevent caching in all browsers.

Added it to my list of planned hacks for 2.9. I had previously hacked wp-includes/functions.php::dead_db() for lack of a better checkpoint, but your examples are much more comprehensive. Thanks!

I like wordpress in general, I can’t believe something like this was not implemented on the core itself by wordpress people. There’s so many other things that could be added to the core which will avoid installing additional plugins. Adaptation is the key
