/**
  This object represents a HTTP response, in particular the response headers.
  <p>
  Example code for proper response generation:
  <code><pre>
    response.setStatus(200,"OK"); // optional, because this is the default
    response.writeBody("Hello");
    response.writeBody("World!",true);
  </pre></code>
  <p>
  Example how to return an error:
  <code><pre>
    response.setStatus(500,"server error");
    response.write("The request cannot be processed because the servers is broken",true);
  </pre></code>
  <p>
  For performance reason, writing a single or few large packets is better than writing
  many small packets. In case of large responses (e.g. file downloads), a Content-Length
  header should be set before calling write(). Web Browsers use that information to display
  a progress bar.
