...I'm +1 with the idea to send pages without payload but -0 with flowscripts which terminate without calling sendPage*. I would prefer an explicit way....Same here: flowscripts should not hide the fact that a response is indeed sent.
I suggested on the other thread that we could use "return null" as a signal for that.
function put() { doput(); setStatus(201); return null; }
Null would mean a pipeline is not required to be executed.
-1 : we must have an explicit call to an environment-related method that allows to detect if the application tries to send content back afterwards. And this should not be available only in the flow as we may want to do the same in an action.
That's why I proposed a redirect to a special "null" pseudo-protocol, as once a redirect has been set the sitemap engine stops further processing (unless it's a "cocoon:" redirect). But this may not be the cleanest way and we may better use a method on the response object. And if sendStatus() and sendError() don't fit, let's do our own sendEmptyResponse(int status, String message).
