 I have recently upgraded my installation of wordpress from 2.9.2 to 3.0
 and the only things that did not work was my archive plugin... After a few
 research, it appeared that the .js.php file included by the plugin in my
 page got a 404 status.

 After triple checking, the file is here and in a good place, accessible by
 the src url of the javascript include.

 I also noticed that even if the return code was 404, the file was served
 by apache.

 I went chasing header function in the wordpress code and using my dearest
 friend : grep and diff.
 A line was modified from 2.9.2 but not for the better...

 Here is the patch that made thing working for me as I'm not familiar with
 Wordpress code, I'm not sure I did write. I checked but did not found any
 tickets that had some similarity with this one but my config is standard :
 apache 2.2.14 with php 5.3.2 (ubuntu flavor).

 My patch revert the if statement to 2.9.2 it's maybe not the best way (if
 this condition was removed it's surely for a reason) but my file is no
 longer served with a 404 return code.
