[hunchentoot-devel] Changes in (send-headers) ?

[Edi Weitz]

Hi,

Unfortunately, the HTML documentation isn't always up to date in the
development version and even some of the docstrings might not be fully
correct anymore.  In the case of send-headers, the docstring /is/
correct, though, although the change is hard to catch.  The modified
sentence there is "returns a BINARY stream" instead of "returns a
stream".  This is one of many changes that we did for performance
reasons.  So, if you want to send text to this stream, you'll have to
wrap it with a flexi stream first.

HTH,
Edi.
