Returns a string that contains all response headers.
The response headers contain information about the server and the retrieved content ('Content-Length', 'Content-Type', ...).
To get the value of a specific response header, use the getResponseHeader method.
String that contains name/value pairs delimited by new line characters.
Example HTML code 1:
This example illustrates the use of the getAllResponseHeaders method:
