DESCRIPTION

       These function format headers pending in  the  outputheaders  Ns_Set  of  the  given  conn
       Ns_Conn structure to be sent to the client.  The headers data along with a preceedin0fRTto
       response line with the0fRvsepsatraattuosrscbetweengheaderTkey:1value pairs and aftrailing  as  a
       single  string  with
       indicate end of headers.

       int Ns_ConnFlushHeaders(conn)
              This routine constructs the headers and then attempts to send them  immediately  to
              the  client.   The  result  is  either  NS_OK  if  the  content  was sent, NS_ERROR
              otherwise.

       void Ns_ConnQueueHeaders(conn)
              This routine constructs the headers as with Ns_ConnFlushHeaders but does  not  send
              the  data  to  the  client.   Instead, the resulting headers string is stored in an
              internal buffer to be sent later on the first call to  Ns_ConnSend.   Delaying  the
              flush  of  the  content  helps increase performance by providing the opportunity to
              combine the headers and content responses into a single system call.

       Note  that  higher  level  routines  which  generate  complete  responses  such   as   the
       Ns_ConnReturn  routines  or Ns_ConnFlush call Ns_ConnQueueHeaders automatically as needed.
       Only custom code which constructs headers manually and sends content directly must include
       a call to Ns_ConnQueueHeaders or Ns_ConnFlushHeaders before generating the output content.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  example  demonstrates  a  simple  response.  In this case, the headers are
       queued and sent with the small "hello" message on the call to Ns_ConnPuts which internally
       calls Ns_ConnSend:

                Ns_ConnSetRequiredHeaders(conn, "text/plain", 5);
                Ns_ConnQueueHeaders(conn, 200);
                Ns_ConnPuts(conn, "hello");
