PHP http handling

Is there a way to prevent a php script fr开发者_开发知识库om sending a http response when the script is finished executing? If not in php is it possible in any-other common web scripting langues?

I believe that would be something controlled by the web server, not the scripting language.

assuming no headers have been sent, just die();

No, but you can send a http 204 (No Content).
