/**
 * THttpResponse class
 *
 * THttpResponse implements the mechanism for sending output to client users.
 *
 * To output a string to client, use {@link write()}. By default, the output is
 * buffered until {@link flush()} is called or the application ends. The output in
 * the buffer can also be cleaned by {@link clear()}. To disable output buffering,
 * set BufferOutput property to false.
 *
 * To send cookies to client, use {@link getCookies()}.
 * To redirect client browser to a new URL, use {@link redirect()}.
 * To send a file to client, use {@link writeFile()}.
 *
 * By default, THttpResponse is registered with {@link TApplication} as the
 * response module. It can be accessed via {@link TApplication::getResponse()}.
 *
 * THttpResponse may be configured in application configuration file as follows
 *
 * <module id="response" class="System.Web.THttpResponse" CacheExpire="20" CacheControl="nocache" BufferOutput="true" />
 *
 * where {@link getCacheExpire CacheExpire}, {@link getCacheControl CacheControl}
 * and {@link getBufferOutput BufferOutput} are optional properties of THttpResponse.
 *
 * THttpResponse sends charset header if either {@link setCharset() Charset}
 * or {@link TGlobalization::setCharset() TGlobalization.Charset} is set.
 *
 * Since 3.1.2, HTTP status code can be set with the {@link setStatusCode StatusCode} property.
 *
 * Note: Some HTTP Status codes can require additional header or body information. So, if you use {@link setStatusCode StatusCode}
 * in your application, be sure to add theses informations.
 * E.g : to make an http authentication :
 * <code>
 *  public function clickAuth ($sender, $param)
 *  {
 *     $response=$this->getResponse();
 *     $response->setStatusCode(401);
 *     $response->appendHeader('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Test"');
 *  }
 * </code>
 *
 * This event handler will sent the 401 status code (Unauthorized) to the browser, with the WWW-Authenticate header field. This
 * will force the browser to ask for a username and a password.
 *

 * @package System.Web
 * @since 3.0
