Description

[Header] ... [/Header] sets the HTTP header of the response to the contents of the container tags.

The text inside the [Header] ... [/Header] tags needs to follow the rules for HTTP headers as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium <http://www.w3c.org>.

The [Header] ... [/Header] tags should be used above any other Lasso tags that modify the HTTP header. These include [Redirect_URL], [Server_Push], [Cookie_Set] and [Content_Type]. Any changes made by these tags will be erased by a subsequent set of [Header] ... [/Header] tags.

There should only be one set of [Header] ... [/Header] tags in any format file.
