Description:
------------
Calling send->headers() triggers a fatal error in PHP 505

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /usr/local/share/php/

Similar errors occur in other packages.scripts as well due to a change in behaviour between php 5.0.4 and 5.0.4+ IIRC

Test script:
---------------
$httpCache = new HTTP_Header_Cache();
$httpCache->setLastModified($this->modified);
$httpCache->sendHeaders();

Expected result:
----------------
no error. Patch:

function getCacheStart()
{
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE']) && !$this->isPost()) {
$bits = explode(';', $_SERVER['HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE']);
$time = array_shift($bits);
$timestamp = strtotime($time);
return $timestamp;
}
return time();
}

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /usr/local/share/php/
