<p>Send an informational response.</p>
<p>Informational responses use a status code between 100 and 199. They cannot include a body. This function will not use any of the previously set headers. All headers to be sent must be given directly.</p>
<p>Any number of informational responses can be sent as long as they are sent before the proper response. Attempting to use this function after sending a normal response will result in an error.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 id="_arguments">Arguments</h2>
<dl><dt>Status</dt>
<dd><p>The status code for the response.</p>

<p>Header names must be given as lowercase binary strings.</p>

<h2 id="_return_value">Return value</h2>
