"MUST REPLY" HTTP response headers

regards:

I write java code to simulate my machine as a HTTP server,
what is the "MUST REPLY" HTTP response headers?

In my small survey,I think there are 2 "MUST REPLY" HTTP response
headers.

(1)Content-Length: (length of content which will be transmitted)
(2)Content-Type: (by
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/)

Does the program logic make sense?

thank you for your patient reply and instructions.
May goodness be with you all

Read the RFC - RFC 2616, Sections 6 and 7, to be precise.

Neither of those headers that you mention are REQUIRED as such. End of
content can be signalled by simply closing the connection, and
applications can "guess" the content-type if the Content-Type header is
not present.

I am attempting to develop a solution where I handle bounced e-mails. I wish to field all bounced emails in a custom email account such a bounced@mycompany.com From the aricle at http://www.systemwebmail.com/faq/2.7.aspx, I gather I could use: mail.Headers.Add( "Reply-To", "alternate_email@mycompany.com" ); When I test this from a test web app, I don't seem to field a bounced email

Hi, we are getting a lot of spam through our PHP Feedback form, and have set up a new field 'prove you're human', asking them to do some simple maths. What is the command for the PHP script itself, to say "this field must be equal to 9 or return the error page"? Thanks! Matt

I have a GridView control in page called which is inheriting from a MasterPage. The normal code to export to GridView does not work and gives me an error - "Control of type GridView must be placed inside form tag with runat = server".

I have tried overriding VerifyRenderingInServerForm and everything else I can...

Hi, we've got a strange problem here: We've created an ASP.NET 2.0 web application using Membership.ValidateUser() to manually authenticate users with our website. The problem is: If the user has the "User must change password" flag set in Active Directory, ValidateUser() always returns false if that user wants to log in.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
