Comments in HTML Headers? (not within the head tags)

[JAB Creations]

I was wondering if it's possible to insert comments in to the header of a document?

Normal

<!-- comment -->

comments? Yes, there is no problem. You should avoid putting a comment before the doctype, however, as this will put IE6 into quirks mode.

I know I was unclear on this...no in the header as in when you send a HEAD request in place of a GET request to a server. I know about IE/Quirks...I have an XML declaration on all of my pages. :-D

OK, you mean in the HTTP header? In that case, yes, you can add arbitrary HTTP headers - I believe the convention is to start non-standard headers with

X-

.

Try this with PHP (before any content, obviously):

<?php header("X-foobar: I love widgets!"); ?>

Nice! It worked...but the view I used is kinda scruffy...have something you'd personally suggest? Thanks!
