[Xml-compile] Adding HTTP header in SOAP response

Never thought of that.  SOAP has other session ideas in its spec, for
instance via its own header.  And in the daemon context, you have
a "connection" with multiple request as 1 session.  Anyway...

Depends on your daemon.  One of the LWP based? 

::LWPutil::lwp_run_request has a postproc parameter which can be
a code-ref, called just before the response is sent.  It is set via

  ::Daemon::???->new(postprocess => \&post);

It depends on the backend which parameters are passed in.  For LWP:

  sub post($$$$)
  {   my ($request, $response, $rc, $ref_body) = @_;
      ... here you can modify the $response headers (I guess)
  }

Correct.
