[drupal-devel] [feature] New hook, header to allow pre-header module functions

[jhriggs]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/20562

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    base system

 Priority:     normal

 Status:       patch

Can't this be done with drupal_set_header() [1]? If you need to do it
for every page, you could do it from inside hook_menu().  Otherwise,
just call it as needed.

One function that is needed in Drupal (and that our modules currently
don't have), is access to write headers.  This patch aims to fix that,
by providing a hook to send headers before the main header for Drupal
is sent.
This will also help with modules such as securesite, by allowing HTTP
Auth to be called before we sent content type headers.
