IHttpResponseWriter

The IHttpResponseWriter interface is the contract for services that can produce HTTP responses for IEndpointResults. This is a low-level abstraction that is intended to be used if you need to customize the serialization, encoding, or HTTP headers in a response from a protocol endpoint.
