silent-header
Purpose: Do not output HTTP headers.
silent-header will suppress the output of HTTP headers, such as with
out-header, or in any other case where headers are output. The effect applies to current
request only; if you use it conditionally, then you can have it on or off dynamically. If you want to suppres the headers across the entire command-line application, use VV_SILENT_HEADER environment variable; see
command_line.
Note that you still have to use
out-header regardless, as it is expected to be there if you output anything; however its actual output will be suppressed.
There are many uses for silent-header, among them:
- A command line program may use it to produce generic output, without any headers,
- the output from command line program may be redirected to a web file (such as html), in case of dynamic content that rarely changes,
- a web program may output a completely different (non-HTTP) set of headers, etc.
