PHP http handling

Question

Is there a way to prevent a php script from sending a http response when the script is finished executing? If not in php is it possible in any-other common web scripting langues?

Answer 1

assuming no headers have been sent, just die();

Answer 2

I believe that would be something controlled by the web server, not the scripting language.

Answer 3

No, but you can send a http 204 (No Content).
