You may call it safely without first checking whether +the connection uses HTTP/2. + +The header names must be given as lowercase binary strings. +While header names are case insensitive, Cowboy requires them +to be given as lowercase to function properly. + +Note that the headers must be the headers the client is expected +to send if it were to perform the request. They are therefore +request headers, and not response headers. + +By default, Cowboy will use the GET method, an empty query string, +and take the scheme, host and port directly from the current +request's URI. You can override them by passing options. + +It is not possible to push resources after sending a response. +Any attempt will result in an error. + +== Arguments + +Path:: + +The status code for the response. + +Headers:: + +The response headers. + +Header names must be given as lowercase binary strings. + +Req:: + +The Req object. + +Opts:: + +Customize the HTTP method or the URI scheme, host, port +or query string. + +== Return value + +The atom `ok` is always returned.
