Stripp all header in PHP response

How if at all can I s开发者_如何学Pythontrip all the header from a PHP response through apache in order to just stream the text response. I've tried adding a custom htaccess but to no avail. I've got limited control of the hosting server. The stream is read by an embedded device which doesn't need any headers.

It get's to a point where certain headers are NEEDED to be interpreted by the browser so it can render the output. If the reason why you want to remove the header is for a chat-like feature, think about using a persitant keep-alive connection

Tips in reducing bandwidth

1. Use ajax: keep the response from PHP in JSON format and update DOM elements

2. Gzip.

3. Just don't worry about headers -- typically a HTTP OK response will only take up < 200 bytes, hardly anything in comparison to the actual page content. Focus on where it really matters.

Edit:

To suit your case look into using sockets (UDP would be a good option if wanting to cut back on a lot of bandwidth) socket_listen() (non UDP) or socket_bind() capabable of UDP

That's impossible.
You are using HTTP protocol and HTTP protocol response always contains headers.
Either do not use HTTP or teach your device to strip headers. It's not that hard.

Anyway, php has very little to do with removing headers. There is also a web-server that actually interacts with your device and taught to send proper headers.

There is a PHP function called header_remove(). I never used it before but you can try if this works for you. Note that this function is available since PHP 5.3.0.
