Beg my pardon but did you try to do this on the server hosting

It should not affect any headers. At least it was so last time I tried to do
the same.
This is just a demonstration that use of headers is limited.
There are many other ways to deliver HTML content. Only one of them
is using http protocol (so headers).
E.g. access to content by ftp, HTML as a clipboard format in
cut-n-paste operations, DOMElement.setInnerHtml use, etc.
