Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:34397 3sq]:
 > We spoof our Apache version as IIS (just to be difficult). However this
 means that it is detected as IIS when it is not.

 If you're doing something as bizarre as spoofing IIS with Apache then you
 at least need to have a real IIS server available to determine that you're
 doing it correctly.

 Your server should correctly set the `$_SERVER` query variables similar
 to, for example, how a reverse proxy needs to.

 Let's not waste our time on self-inflicted issues like this, even as minor
 as it is.
