Getting the response headers

You can get response headers like the following codes.

$headers = $response->getHeaders();
foreach ($headers as $name => $values) {
    echo $name . ": " . implode(", ", $values);
}

You can set response headers before responding to the client like the following example.

$response = $response->withHeader('Content-type', 'application/json');

$body = $response->getBody();

You can set the response body before responding to the client like the following example.
