Re: [naviserver-devel] How to set output headers w/o sending content?

[Stephen D. <sd...@gm...>]

I added the function Ns_ConnSetResponseStatus() for the protocols
stuff, but I didn't add the Tcl equivalent to ns_conn.  I aggree with
Vlad that ns_conn status ?newStatus? would be a good addition (which
requires that we drop connid :-)


Does ns_respond do what you need?

ns_respond ?-status status? ?-type type? \
    { ?-string string? | ?-file filename? | ?-fileid fileid? } \
    ?-length length? ?-headers setid?



What is [ns_conn discardcontent] used for?
