setheaders

boilerplate for res.setHeader, protection from being overridden and more!

var setProctedHeader  = setHeader.setProctedHeader;  // protected = true
var setOverrideHeader = setHeader.setOverrideHeader; // override  = true
var setWritableHeader = setHeader.setWritableHeader; // writable  = true

setheaders(res, name, value , protected , override , writable )

options

- res - Object response to client (default "required") - name- String header's name (default "required") - value - String header's value (default "required") - [protected] - true set protected header, from being overridden before they are written to response (default "false") - [override] - true check if I'm trying to override a header (default "false") - [writable] - true check if socket is writable, prevent write Error (default "false")
