[Zope-dev] decapitate() still needed ?

from http://zwiki.org/FrontPage:

simon - why is the antidecaptiation kludge there?

tav - it was a temporary way around an undocumented feature of DTML Documents, namely if your document's text begins with one or more lines that look like a http: header, they get moved into the actual http headers.

Naturally it has led to complications.

aha!

deltab: the undocumented feature seems rather unnecessary - DTML Documents can set their header fields through the RESPONSE object.

db - I would dearly love for it to vanish. No time to raise the issue on zope-dev or tracker right now though --SM

Well, I guess that's not true. Raising it here. -Simon
