Component:  XML-RPC   |     Version:  2.6

 I have disabled (unchecked) the use of the XML-RPC interface under options
 -> writing, as well as the Atom protocol.
 Additionally I have disabled pingbacks/trackbacks from other sites under
 options -> discussion.

 Despite this, my WP 2.6 will send the following header (shortened the
 irrelevant data). Notice the X-pingback:


 {{{
 HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 Date: ...
 Server: ...
 X-Pingback: http://www.mysite.example/xmlrpc.php
 Content-Type: ...
 }}}


 After grep-ing my wordpress folder I found that this header is sent in the
 function WP->send_headers() in classes.php line 190.

 Shouldn't that function check whether that header has to be sent?
 (which shouldn't be the case when disabling the XML-RPC interface or
 trackbacks/pingbacks, right?)
