Description

After calling getRow() once, the response header are locked and cannot be changed by respondWith.
getRow() should be side-effect free and Sending shouldn't start before calling send();

Example, where respondWith() cannot set "Content-Type" response header according to "Accept" request header:

function(head, req){
var row = getRow();
respondWith(req,
{
json : function() {
send("

{'json'}

");
},
xml : function()

{ send('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'); }

});
}
