#2984: 404 response header on js.php file

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 I've been working (unoffically) on the Extended Live Archives Plugin.
 There was a problem that quite a few users were experiencing where no
 archives were showing up and no errors or AJAX transactions were reported.
 I found that the PHP as CGI file was returning valid javascript, which was
 properly embedded in the generated source for the page.  But when I
 accessed the php file directly, it showed up fine, but with a response
 header of 404 Not Found.  This caused it to be ignored by all browsers
 except Safari (Mac).  I modified the functions.php file temporarily to
 force a 200 on these pages, but I'm fully aware that this is a poor
 solution.  What I'd really like to know is what is causing these 404
 headers on this particular script?

 I'm running Apache/1.3.37 with mySQL 4.0.25.  Wordpress 2.0.4

 The offending file can be seen here, and if you check the response
 headers, you'll see the 404 error.

 Thanks for any assistance.
