+Cowboy also provides a function to send response trailers.
|
|
|
|
|
+Response trailers are semantically equivalent to the headers
|
|
|
|
|
+you send in the response, only they are sent at the end.
|
|
|
|
|
+This is especially useful to attach information to the
|
|
|
|
|
+response that could not be generated until the response
|
|
|
|
|
+body was fully generated.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+Trailer fields must be listed in the trailer header. Any
|
|
|
|
|
+field not listed might be dropped by the client or an intermediary.
