The TIdHTTPResponseInfo::HeaderHasBeenWritten property, which is set by 
WriteHeader().

Generally, you shouldn't worry about calling WriteContent() manually.  Just 
set the response properties and let the server send the response 
automatically.

After OnCommandGet exits, WriteHeader() is called if HeaderHasBeenWritten is 
false, and WriteContent() is called if there is any value assigned to the 
ContentText or ContentStream property.

Because no data is being sent to the client at all, other than the headers.

If ContentText and ContentStream() are both empty, then WriteContent() sends 
a small HTML page containing just the ResponseNo and ResponseText values.

If you assign the ContentText or ContentStream, then WriteContent() is 
called automatically.
